How many pounds of pellets does a 2 quart grain scoop hold?

Question

i believe it is approx. one pound but i don't remember =(

Answer 1

I thought about 3 pounds...

could be wrong though, but that's how I used to figure it.

*Now I need to go out and actually weigh it...*  I'm curious.

Answer 2

I would think it depends on which pellet you use and the density of it.

You will have to weigh it then mark the scoop so you can remember it.

I never fed much grain so I never weighed it.  They just got a 'snack'  *1/4 lb or less*

Answer 3

Get a 2 quart grain scoop and a scale and weigh it.

Answer 4

Always weigh your feed.  Get a little scale that has a hook to attach a bag (like a plastic grocery bag) while you hold the other end up...fill your scoop and weigh it.  No two feeds weigh the same.

Answer 5

if it's alfalfa pellets it weighs 3.5 pounds. If it's not...then you need to weigh it...just because it fills the scoop the same doesn't mean it weighs the same. I just went to walmart and got a food scale that weighs items up to 7 pounds...worked perfect for my needs.

Answer 6

For me it's about 3 pounds. I think it varies depending on what type of grain you're feeding. I feed a pelleted grain called Horseman's Edge to most of the horses.

One of my horses is feed Ultium and that is 2 1/2 pounds per 2 quarts. I usually just use my scale and coffee cans for scoops.
