[AlpacaTalk] Feed

Hello all,

As a newer owner I have been following this and other discussions
intently.

I was going back and forth from being concerned and not concerned
about my feeding plan.

Not anymore

I have decided after much research, that while some points of this
discussion may be valid it is the amount of feed ingested that
causes most of these problems.
If you are feeding once a day you are probably causing your own
problem.
Feeding twice also allows for observation of your animals and will
give more time for treatment if something is wrong.

At this time I am feeding free choice grass hay and 1/2 cup of
mazuri feed twice daily.

Minerals will be given at 1/2 oz twice daily and fiber nutrients
when I find a source.

I am switching over to Dr Evans Start to Finish Supplement from
Buckeye Nutrition here in Ohio.

I have seen no reference to this supplement and the reference that
have been mentioned on here are feeds that I have never heard of?

The fiber from this program and the general health of animals on
this program is super.

I Think We Sometimes Think 2 Much.

Tim
