Kent forage extender vs alf cubes

OHHHH I see the Hay extender he posted is being processed for CATTLE not horses makes sense now it is the stuff that is not good enough for the Dynsty line LOL that sounds bad huh but that is what I was just told for the plant here in Indiana

after I ripped the poor woman a new one for Kent having an ingredient list like that LOL

I knew that ingredient list was oh so wrong for anything Kent Equine LOL so I just picked up my phone and called it is one of their low end products that they do not advertise at all just out there for the people who really dont' care

Matt this product is not for you LOL go with the Dynasty FOrage if you want to add something like that

I am trying to reach my guy there now and he is out on vacation LOL now I have to find the other number I had for them

Yes they are from Kent, I have never seen them on the site myself but they do carry them at both the dealers here in town

Seeing as you do not have a hay shortage problem, I see no reason to go with a bagged forage product, personally.

The alfalfa pellets will likely be cheaper and provide more calories/lb. The horse will also be able to eat more in a shorter amount of time and with less of a 'fill' factor.

actually Dawn the Kent Dynasty FOrage is abotu 8.50 to 9.00 a bag according to mill and our cubes in Terre Haute are 10.50 adn UP

How many lbs is a bag?

PeggySue · 05-12-2008, 04:28 PM

50lbs per bag on each of them LOL

I would also wonder what the inclusion rate of timothy and alfalfa is.

All in all, a bagged forage product will not contain the benefits of forage pellets when looking for a condensed calorie feed.

Though I am absolutely amazed that you have a bagged forage product with such a low price tag.
