If I feel like someone is needing more calories, they get a couple pounds of Ultium to go with it. Works for me. Everyone is also getting free choice coastal. 1 lb rice bran 2x daily. 3 lbs alfalfa pellets 2x daily. Optional: 1-2 lbs Ultium 2x daily. I have a super easy keeper getting 15 lbs of coastal, 2 cups of rice bran, plus DePaulo supplements and the recommended amount of Purina SuperSport protein supplement. Everyone gets Forco and DePaulo Excel. Pretty happy ponies. This has been easier on my pocket book as well.
