Location: NE Texas | I just wanted to take a second to send a quick shout out to SG and to thank her for our discussion at Diamonds & Dirt about the Bluebonnet Feeds Omege Force Intensify. What a difference it is making in how my horses are looking! I've only been feeding it for almost 3 weeks but there is truly a huge difference in my horses in that short amount of time. Finally something that makes sense without having to mix 27 different things in a bucket! Thank you, SG, again for sharing this info with me and thank you to Bluebonnet Feeds for finally formulating a feed that makes sense nutritionally and is good for our horses! |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | Do you have any on a different feed for comparison? Just wondering because body condition does tend to improve this time of year anyway. Not knocking the product, just curious, as I can't get bluebonnet anyway. When I quit ADM, I split mine into 2 programs and saw better results with one, so I'm putting them all on that. |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I love BlueBonnet feeds, thats all I would feed when I lived in the Valley. But moved up here to Seguin and never could find it and nobody wanted to sell it in their store's, real bummer. The only store that did have it was TSC and nope wont buy from them, their feed is never fresh. I did finally find a feed that's good, but if I ever come across BlueBonnet I sure would not pass it up, they are a good company. |

Yes, I did leave one horse on the safechoice and he didn't improve like the others did. Saw such dramtic changes in three weeks that I started changing him over just this week, and he's the easiest keeper of the bunch typically! |

Good to know. Safechoice is what didn't impress me either. |

curious what your feed program looks like
because at $950 a ton it's for sure not economical.
Can you tell us what and how you feed?

Location: Red Raiderland | Herbie, that is such good news. I have a feed store nearby that carries Bluebonnet, I should check it out. I have mine on Safechoice Perform plus alfalfa and pasture for a few hours a day. They look good but I want them to BLOOM!
SG, does have good advice on stuff, she got me addicted to Caldwells! |

Location: Beggs, OK | Omega Force is formulated so that you feed MUCH less than you would of most other feeds. We are paying $20.95 a bag which would equal $838/ton. For a 1,200# horse in intense training you would feed a maximum of 9# a day. We feed them a free choice mineral and because of gastrointestinal issues caused by feed that was contaminated with ionophore cattle medication they also get the BB Transform DSI supplement to help them.
Under normal circumstances you wouldn't need to add anything to this feed. |

Location: Here | You are welcome... there are many that educated me on this subject. I think this is going to be an each one teach one deal. My horses have done an amazing turn about as well after getting them off of that other 
Crap
Anyways Everyone needs to keep after these mills. That latest news isn't good. These mills are getting good at blowing smoke about this issue
We've just received an update that affects many people that we know. The mill in OKC that produces Nutrena Feeds is NOT ionophore free. While they don't use Monensin, they do use Lasalocid in their medicated feeds. Contrary to what many will tell you regarding the toxicity of Lasalocid this is a HUGE issue. The study below is worth the time to read...particularly the paragraph regarding delayed neurotoxicity on the 5th page.

Thank you Rachel for teaching me so much about feeds |

It is very economical to feed when you consider the health of the horse, vet bills, and side effects. Plus I don't have to add anything just scoop and feed. I do add water to mine as mine like slop |
