Stampede Alfalfa Pellets can be fed as is right out of the bag or they can be soaked to facilitate mixing a grain and forage mash. Soaking is not necessary. Substitute normal hay with alfalfa pellets on a weight for weight basis. Stampede Alfalfa Pellets can be used as part of a forage program to supplement pasture feeding or extend available hay sources. Be sure to feed the equivalent of at least 5 pounds per day of pasture and/or hay when feeding alfalfa pellets.
