Re: beet pulp bath

["Dyane Smith" <sunibey@sisqtel.net>]

Hi, Michelle.

Akela used to do that with a bucket.  I started feeding out of one of those
flat rubber tubs/pans.  Now, no problems.  My other thoughts on beet pulp:
    is he used to it?  It took mine a while to warm up to it.  I mix it with
other feed they like--gradually changing the amounts so that now I feed
mostly beet pulp (in the mash--I also feed hay).  I also give it to them
first, before I give the hay, so they are hungry.

As to the tire idea: I have a big plastic tub in a tire that I water my
horses in and it works fine, but is a little big unless you are feeding a
lot of beet pulp.  I got the tubs at one of those big garden supply stores
or Home Depot, I forget which.

Good luck.

  Has anyone used the buckets that fit in an old tire?  Do you know where to
get them?  Do they work?  Any other ideas?
