wow.

anyways, I use calcium with D3 (no phos) every feeding, since they dont get outside usually. at least during the winter.
They can pass out extra calcium, so i'm not worried about that, and i've done this as well as well as fed my "base" chow mix for 2 years, and no MBD, not even from my baby to a yearling, so i think i'm doing the right thing.

I've never tried feeding lean meats before.
