Before long it will eat grain regular

Before long it will eat grain regularly
with its mother. l never wean colts
very young. My two best ~ nursed
till they We're more than nine months
old. After weaving | gave them about
two quarts of oats twice a day. and
turned them out on pasture, but I
w left them out in bad storms. In
winter | gave them the run of a large
box stall and let them out for exercise
every day. I feed oats and good
mixed hay and keep salt where they
can get it whenever they want it.
Judging by my experience, then. if
YOU want extra good colts you must
not only breed wisely. but You must
also give them extra good care and
feed.
