I have seen it before in the forum but can't remember where. Can someone help with a recipe. I have a place to get the ingredients.

wheat
org. whole or cracked corn
split peas
black oil sun. seeds
oyster shell mixed in

green grass or greens year round
Redmond mineral conditioner (salt and minerals) free choice

What are the quantities of each?

I started out weighing everything but now just take a scoop of this and that to mix it up. When I run out of something I use more of something else. I aim for a protein percentage of around 15% though. In the winter if they "crave" more grains I do give them (when the grains are plucked from the mix and it is freezing weather I believe they need more). So I do take a horse scoop of each thing basically would be an estimate.
