 have a question...it has it's usual Protein, not less than 8%, etc...but
 what threw me is that is also says Fat, not less than NONE. Now, I thought
 beet pulp was a higher fat feed? It keeps the horses looking great - I'm
 happy with it thus far, but just curious about this. I know "not less than
 NONE can mean it has any amount, or none at all....but why would they write
 the label this way?

Beet pulp is the pulp waste from the manufacture of sugar--sugar beets. So,
you get basically carbohydrate and fiber.
