Re: [RC] Carbohydrates in Beet Pulp - Karen Sullivan

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
