Barley

[CHARLTON34]

I have barley in my mix 365 day's a year, think I've fed more this month for the moult & a certain % in my racing mix. My ybs have been on Centenary mix although not raced which is a high carbohydrate mix think it was about 60% or so on the bag with added barley.

Why is it traditional to feed a dupurative mix or barley more at the start of the week yet maize is popular at the end yet both are high carbs and they don’t carry much protein or fat
I feed Barley every day including Thursday just changing fats as the wind / distance dictates
Yet the traditional way is barley then on to a super widowhood type feed I don’t think I will ever understand that way of feeding why use a widowhood mix with a few peas in at the end of the week when you need carbs and fats then

I suspect Neil it’s down to tradition, a good fancier does it and others simply follow without question.
