I bought a bag at Buck’s Feed in Cool (CA).
Also bought a bag at Echo Valley Feed in Auburn (CA). Seems to be a common
item. That’s whole flax seed, so it doesn’t go bad very quickly (months).
I was originally feeding it whole
(unground), about 2 cups worth a day. I switched to grinding it, use about a
cup a day, and the difference after 2 weeks is profound and noticeable – even through
her winter coat, my mare is gleaming and shiny. And that’s just the outside.
So definitely, grind it. Just be aware that the essential oils volatize very
quickly in the presence of heat, so grind small batches and keep them
cool/cold.

Performance.. there is a cheaper way... NOT....Buy Flax seed
Okay Mike, where do you get the 50# bags of flaxseed? I've
been wanting to feed flaxseed but haven't seen it anywhere.
