Why do you feed Barastoc?

Barastoc keeps my competition horses in top condition. Barastoc products improve the growth rates of my young stock and the fertility of the broodmares. During the ongoing drought many clients have commented on what good condition my breeding stock are in and how well they look. The mares are dappled and look fabulous.
