I have to limit pasture time for my Miniatures to avoid founder and overweight, have heard the carbohydrate content is highest is the A.M. so try to turn them out later in the day. Is this a real concern?

Please see this article www.safergrass.org/pdf/nfcfactors.pdf, as the morning hours are better for turn out if it is not real cold as the warm sun causes the carb levels to boost in afternoon.
