So far I've been able got get beet pulp here in NW AR.  The last time it was 
around $16 a bag.  However, I wasn't pleased with the quality.  It was very 
fine and smelled fermented even though I had just mixed it up.  I wonder if 
more molasses has been added then it used to have.  It was my main thing I fed 
my horses in order to feed them a vit-min. supp.  My pastures are pretty good, 
or bad, depending on how you look at excess fescue.  I don't need to feed much 
even to the horses I'm working hard just some hay in winter and a little beet 
with some oats or stadegy when they are being worked for endurance.  Does 
anyone have any ideas of what to use in place of beet pulp?  I quit feeding it 
this last month since I was afraid the sugar content was too high for my horses 
and now I'm just feeding bermuda hay with a little alfalfa.  They are slowly 
getting used to not being fed their goodies in the barn.  I'll still want to 
feed beet pulp at rides and when I start my endurance horse
back in heavy training again.  Happy Trails, Kathy
