Location: midwest mama	Some of the supplements I feed are powdered and I need some suggestions on how better to feed them. Right now I mix them with some "all-in-one" (which is ground up alfalfa meal/molasses) so they will stick but I would prefer to stay away from the molasses. I don't feed grain - just a pound of alfalfa pellets with the supplements. Anyone have any other good techniques to feed powdered supplements? Edited by OldSchoolCowgirl 2018-02-04 1:53 AM
