Are the other areas of the country have a shortage of beetpulp like we do here in Nebraska? I was told yesterday I couldnt get the shredded pulp until January tried the pellets and the calves hate it.

WEIRD! We went through the same thing a few months ago, but the feed store 10 miles away was not effected. We tried the pellets and some calves tore them up, but the younger calves must have thought they were too big, and left the lay most of the time.

Our supplier is having to get them from California.  The last two bags we got smelled like a dead mouse.  Calves wouldn't eat them but then neither would I.

  Mike, they get most of their supplies from S. Omaha Supply. If you call there and it is not where they are getting it PM me, and I will call them again and find out for sure where they are getting it. Brent

Tractor Supply has it in Manhattan.  I think that the last time I was there they had about 10 bags.  The asst. manager hates me because I am one of the only people that buys it and I make him order it in for me.( he is a buddy of mine)  But they have no problem getting it in.

Just picked up the last 10 bags here in Lincoln at TSC and they said thats all they could get, and called the other TSC stores in Ne and they all said the same thing.

Have you tried Full Tank?  You should be able to pick that up in Fremont or from a local Sunglo dealer.

We had heard that several dog food suppliers are now using beet pulp in their dog food.  Hence, the lack of it and in our area the cost has went up.  Our calves love full tank and full and fresh.  The last batch of beet pulp I bought the calves don't like it and it looks like fines.

Cost of beet pulp has really went up here. It went from $13.99 a bag to 18.99 for the shredded 40lb bag. How much does everybody else pay for their beet pulp?
