SO nine pounds of dry beet pulp is the same as and should be considered nine pound period??

I was under the assumtion that so many dry = so many wet and that was the ration

Yep! You should be cautious if you plan to feed that much though as it's likely that some of these horses are probably consuming right around the 20 lb a day mark in hay and beet pulp can only safely make up 40% of the forage intake.

How about 5 beet and 2RB along ith 8OZ boss? THen all the sweet feed to the LLamas!

I would do at least a 1 lb of BOSS if not gradually working up to 2.

And personally, I'd add in alfalfa pellets as well, assuming they're getting grass hay. But that's me.

So our new menu should be:
2Pounds RB
1Pound Boss ( work to 2 )
5-6 pounds Beet Pulp
(kent Forage exterder for alfalfa pellets )
No sweet feed!

Ok Now we move to 20 yrold TB Teeth good and were floated in fall, on full pasture and dynasty senior ( Pasture because she is at 4-H leaders house )

I wouldn't think so, as it is a grain by product.
