Re: [AlpacaTalk] free choice question

We definitely had hay supply issues this year, we're lucky we got our
2nd cutting at all. Drought and then rain at the wrong times... I do
have a hunch our hay might be deficient in protein. Now that it's
been 6 months we're going to have it tested. : /

The moral here is to keep a close eye on your herd's individual body
scores, and have your hay tested when you get it! Don't wait 6
months! And if you have individuals who are struggling, be proactive.
Conversely, if you have individuals who are fatties no matter what
you try to do, well I'm not sure. I've not had that in my own
animals. :)
