i thought that hemp was to warm the birds up get them going so why have hemp in a break down this isnt a dig just a question ;)

Too much conditioning seed for a day to day feed for my liking, and too much barley and wheat and wheres the pea's and beans?

[Guest strapper]

i think personally this would not be used as my own preference as a racing mix,its ok for short sprint but i would have a heavier mix towards distance racing.

to me its more of a conditioning mix.

[adam owen]

peas and beans in a BREAKDOWN MIX aint thease 2 grains protein high ones at that

Remember Skull races in South Africa, don't think we have experienced racing conditions over there, so unlikely to be able to offer informed advice.
