 that is consumed.

 nate day, rolled barley, once only, one-half pound.

1. Same as above. 



2. Oat hay, fed twice a day, an occasional feed of 

 alfalfa hay for variety. 



3. Bran only, once a day, one pound, hot mash. No 

 grain, beet pulp, oil cake or any other rich or fat- 

 producing food. 



For fresh doe: 

 First week — 



1. Small amounts of green feed or ropts, not more 

 than three pounds, gradually increased. 



2. Same as above. 



3. Bran, one pound, hot mash, night and morning. 

 Second week —

 fresh doe to green grass when she is hungry or she will 

 bloat. Feed hay first.
