Re: RC: Custom Grain/Beet Pulp Mix (1a)

[Rick Crites <rdcrites@altavista.com>]

Do you think they would ship this feed?  My daughter, Amanda is buying a new horse and wanting to get started back in Endurance and I have been looking for a feed to feed her horse.  Would there be any way to get the recipe so I could have it mixed locally?
