The herds dinner rations

Chickens - Free range on grass for anything they can find, including leftover(spilled) horse, cow, and goat grain. Free choice layer pellets to keep eggs nice and healthy. (although with all they eat in the pasture they rarely touch the pellets!) A sprinkling of scratch grains in the morning.

Cows - Whole oats, alfalfa pellets, and a handful of black oil sunflower seeds with free range pasture, supplemented with Bermuda hay when needed. Free choice Bluebonnet Tech Master loose minerals.

Horses - Whole oats, alfalfa pellets, and a handful of black oil sunflower seeds with free range pasture, supplemented with Bermuda hay when needed. Free choice Bluebonnet Tech Master loose minerals.

Goats - Free choice bermuda hay, Bluebonnet Tech Master loose minerals, weighed daily amount of alfalfa pellets. On the milkstand the girls get whole oats with a handful of black oil sunflower seeds.

Dogs - Nutro Max adult dog food (had a hard time finding a quality dog food without sunflower oil (Jesse is allergic to it!) Didn't want to go the Max route, but can't pay twice the amount for half the feed!!
