Re: [RC] The Nutritional Value of Grass after frost. - Sisu West Ranch
Come up to the Bitterroot and look at our horses,
and our neighbor's horses. As is quite common here, they are out on
pasture, 3 months after the first frost. They are fat, healthy and
sassy! I don't know where this idea started, but there are a lot of fat
horses here that are counter examples.
It may have come from observation of skinny horses
in overgrazed pastures where there wasn't any grass left. Our pasture may,
for all I know, be much lower in nutrition per mouthful than it was in the
summer, but there apparently are enough mouthfuls out there to keep them happy
and fat.
