I used this feed when starting my herd. My adults ate it, and when they kidded, my babies ate it. I got several comments on the sleekness of my adults nannies. And the babies I started out on it grew rather nicely. They were stocky built (meat breed), slick, and gain weight quickly, but not in a pot belly kinda of way. I recommend to anyone needing to keep weight on their lactating does and to put weight on their growing babies.
