Karen is right. She needs way more to eat, but up the amounts slowly. What kind of grass? Is it fresh cut or hay? Do you have hay available? I'd get her on some grass hay full feed (in front of her all the time)....take some time doing it...at least a week. If you can't do that, then gradually increase the amount of grass you're feeding so that there is feed in front of her all the time. Drop the amount of soybean meal to about 1/4 cup....that is too much protein at one time. Increase your grain mix slowly to at least 6 cups a day. The feed increase should take you at least 2 weeks if not 3.
