I think the new processing methods for alfalfa pellets now normally use steam in making the pellets and no longer use tallow as a binding agent.
Got this from their website: This is what I buy at Tractor Supply.
"Does Standlee use binders or binding agents in the making of the pelleted forages?
All Standlee Premium Western Forage® pellets do not have any binding agents used in the making of the forage pellets. All pellets are 100% natural forage of choice.""
