Re: [AlpacaTalk] fertilizing pastures (Correction)

Hi Peter,
We used to feed the WABA pellets, but it was the declining quality that
prompted my mom to have the custom pellet milled. The fiber blowouts
alone were enough! Actually, that was what spurred it, and my nagging,
to get going on the project. We didn't expect the other general health
benefits.

Mom is the sole distributor of these pellets, they're available right
here from our barn in Creswell. Most of the EVAA membership uses them,
as well as many members of WABA and CABA.

Here's the label info:

Crude protein, min 13%
Crudc fat, min 35%
Crudefiber,max.. 9%

Re: [AlpacaTalk] fertilizing pastures

Thanks Heather,
I do not mind the plug for feed. WABA has their own blend as designed by
Dr. Long. However, Carol (my wonderful wife and the person in charge of our
herd health) wants to know where to procure some of your feed. She is not
thrilled with the results of what we are currently using and has had a
number of people talk about the feed you are using with only good or great
comments.

I have no problem with this, as she is more knowledgeable than I am about
the animals health. My focus (probably obvious) is on the fiber side of
things.
