BACKCOUNTRY FEED FOR PACK STOCK

[MULEPACKHUNTER]

I wanted to put some information out on a new product I tried on a recent hunt with the mules. 7 days packing in AZ requires alot of feed for your animals along with some grazing if the grass is not too high in sugar. I used Purina Hydration hay for the first time and I will say it was a great addition to my rig. I put six blocks or 6 flakes in a pillow case along with several 1 gallon freezer bags full of sweet and pellets. I put one of these on each side of my pack rig. All that is needed is to add water to the blocks of compressed hay and you get a full feeding. The blocks are compact and weigh about 1 pound each. I use the pillow cases after as game bags to save on room. I use callapsable water buckets (3 gallon) to mix 2 gallons of water with the hay blocks. In about 10 minutes they are ready to feed providing nutrients and water to your animals.

Check out Purina for more info.

One downside is this is not considered weed free. I called Purina since I was planning on Colorado in the future.
