[QUOTE="hdrockn, post: 1561617, member: 18874"] If his teeth are bad it is hard for them to get the nutrition from the flake of alfalfa hay. Lots of folks feed beet shreds without soaking is the reason for shreds over pellets. I use both the beet, alfalfa and cattle cubes for a filler. This is probably no different combination than senior feed, but a lot cheaper. I had another old gelding years ago that I fed soaked 20% cattle cubes. I never realized how long a soaking it took to soften them all the way thru. He choked on them and had to be put down. [/QUOTE]
