Why is my horse feed hard? When it comes out of the bag its not I put it in a storage bin (plastic) so mice can't get to it. I buy the 12% sweet feed

I am assuming the 12% sweet feed is the sprout stuff. I did a diet analysis on it- and it is really a poor quality using the cheapest ingredients. It is hard because they put no effort into making it palatable for the horses. My horse eats anything and everything-but won't touch that stuff.
It is actually cheaper if you go to a local feed mill and buy a sweet feed mixture- usually there is a min. of 250lbs of grain order, but it lasts a while and rounds down to about 6-7 dollars a bag- made the way you want it.

It's just the sugar in the molasses hardening. Nothing to worry about, unless you drop a hard sack on your toe!

It probably got warm at some point and the molasses that hold the oats and grains melted together.
It's not a problem.

Is it cold where you are? Could be freezing...or the sugar in the molasses could be drying out and hardening. You could try getting an airtight container.

It's either freezing or drying out! Pellets don't do this!
