RE: Carrot storage, BOSS, weather
This message is from: Gail Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is that with the shells on? If so, seems expensive to me. The whole seeds are a lot cheaper here in Alaska. The sunflower hearts shelled seeds cost about that tho. Maybe it is shelled, though you would think they would say that in the ad, and I don't think they did. Possibly just a high mail order price. So...I better call the feedstores and see if I can find them. GAil The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
RE: Carrot storage, BOSS, weather
This message is from: kelly MacDonald [EMAIL PROTECTED] I feed BOSS. All my horses have been on BOSS regularly since mid-summer. They've never looked better. Even in their winter coats they are sleek, soft and shiny. And they LOVE them. My Fjord gets a cup twice a day along with his tid-bit of feed. He is in good shape, but BOSS is also an excellent way to put some weight on. Kelly From: jerrell friz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Subject: Carrot storage, BOSS, weather Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2007 21:46:09 -0800 This message is from: jerrell friz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Awhile back someone asked about carrot storage. I also purchase my carrots in 25# bags. They are about 25 cents a pound here. I usually grow my own, but did not this last year. I store mine in a plastic bag, and then keep the bag in a large cooler, along with my water bottles. In the Summer, I dump ice cubes in the cooler.. I use the carrots after training for stretching exercises. [ I don't think it is a good idea to give horses treats.[ Dogs different story.] I would not use newspapers due to the ink, which has LEAD in it ! I use the old formula 2# total food, for every 100# of weight. Adjust up or down. [example, a horse that weighs 1000# would eat 20# TOTAL. My fjord, and Lip., take about 17 #. My 1300# Warmblood takes about 28# I don't see any one feeding BOSS. [ Black Oil Sunflower Seeds] If is my understanding that they provide extra copper, not to mention the oil that is digestible in this form. Copper is needed for black skinned horses. Anyway, I have been using them for about 2 years. My horses have the best coats ever. I know people that have been using boss for 5 years. The down side is, they will gain weight. But, again, total, all food. So, you will have to cut back somewhere else.I feed 1 cup to my Fjord, and Lip., and 3 cups to the WB., once daily. Weather, seems to be normal this year. Co., is getting the snow that it normally should get, Ak., is cold, which is normal, and here ,well ,we are enjoying 70 degree days. I was able to bath my horses outside today. My round pen is dry, will have to water it tomorrow.

This message is from: Gail Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED] How much do you pay for your black oil sunflower seeds. I just found a place that will ship them for free for 30.00 for 20 lbs. Is that more or less than you pay? (I can probably find them at my feed store, but am lazy about shopping and will order if I can.) Gail I feed BOSS.

This message is from: Melinda Schumacher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Are these the regular black oil sunflower seeds that I would buy for the birdfeeder? Do the horses eat the shells too?!
