Steve,

I posted your question on the equine vet list and got a couple of replys.

The real name is hegari but is pronounced hygear.  One vet said they used
to feed it when he was a kid in west TX.  He didn't recall having any
problems with it other than it turns the manure red.  The other vet said
he doesn't recommend it because it is related to sorghum and could cause
soghum cystitis which is an inflammation ot the bladder.  The nutritional
value wasn't that great either.  Doesn't sound like it is a good
alternative to feed for horses.

Hope this helps.
