Re: [RC] Carbohydrates in Beet Pulp - Karen Sullivan----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Weary DC" <bweary@xxxxxxxxxxxx> It looks like we agree that beet pulp generally has (or is intended to have) low sugar content, despite a rare batch that didn't. Except for in our area, the feed stores are now bringing in beet pulp with molasses added back in! Need I say it's more expensive than the plain beet pulp that had already become ridiculously expensive? When I first started buying beet pulp some 10 years ago, the feed stores considered it "cattle or hog feed"; it was about $5.50 a bag. After the horse folks discovered it; and there was more of a upscale market (plus Purina made a big deal of adding it to Complete Advantage)....we are now paying upwards of $13 for a bag of the shreds, and sometimes even more if it has the added molasses back in.... Plus now have to drive out of county to get it without the molasses. grumble, grumble Karen =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
