RE: [RC] Flax seed/coffee grinders? - Susan E. Garlinghouse, D.V.M.

If you don’t have electricity at the barn, then you can grind up batches of flax seed at home in front of the TV, put it into Ziploc baggies, throw them in the freezer or frig and just grab a baggie as you head out the door to feed, then recycle the baggies.  I can grind up more than ten pounds of flax seed during an hour-long show if I only grind during the commercials---plus the breaks help keep the motor cooler and extend its life.

 

BTW, you don’t have to totally grind the flax into peanut butter, just disrupting the outer seed coat is enough.  Two or three 3 second pulses is enough.

I have a 55 acre horse place with no electricity and no water.  The water is brought in a truck and we use generators if we have to clip, etc.....but it is the most beautiful pasture and the horses do great..........mb
