We feed a lot of alfalfa here, and enteroliths are virtually unheard
of--again, there is a lot of difference in alfalfa, and most of the hay
growers here know enough to try to market the "right" hay to the horse people,
and send that bright green rabbit food out to the dairies....  Have seen some
of that California stuff--eeuuuuwwwww, about like me living on triple
chocolate sundaes!  I'd sure die happy...
