| Does anyone know if Omnis cubes will be available anywhere on the East Coast anytime soon? I am in NC...I am wanting to feed Omnis so bad that I am almost willing to make the 11 hour drive to the closest dealer to buy them  |

Location: Bandera, TX | I've used it for a little while, but also had a very hard time getting it. It didn't make that big of a difference in my horses that it was worth the hassle. I started feeing a mixture of a quality alfalafa cube, added some whole oats and some falx oil. Worked actually better than the Omnis. |

My problem is that the only "good quality" alfalfa cubes I have access to are Triple Crowns...at $17 a bag and oats at $17.50 a bag... I am already feeding the equivalent of omnis cubes that I mix myself but with Omnis I would save time and my feed bill would drop...considering that the price wouldn't be jacked up like everything else on the east coast |

I'm sure the Omnis would be fairly expensive also due to the shipping cost. I used to be a dealer until oilfield layoffs hit two of my biggest clients. The difference in shipping cost between central Texas and south Louisiana is pretty big considering it is only about six hours between the two locations. Also, if you are in a very humid area, you need to be able to use or sell the entire load within 3-4 months even if you do have a completely enclosed, ventilated barn.
?I love the product, but it sounds like you may be better off with the cubes and oats in your case. Here in S. Louisiana I couldn't sell mine any cheaper than $16 a bag and that was the ton price. |

Yeah I have a feeling if they ever are available anywhere near me the price would probably go up significantly |

I am sorry, for the foreseeable future Omnis will not be available in your area. There is a lot of interest from the East coast and hopefully we will be able to distribute there one day, as production contracts currently prevent from doing so. You are doing well with your current selections. I might suggest adding flax, if you can. It is a big part of the effectiveness of Omnis. While feeding oats and flax separately isnt quite the same, I certainly think it is a good choice, besides the cost and hassle.
Thank you for your reply...I do currently feed 8 oz of whole flax, along with either chaffhaye or cubes and whole oats...they look fantastic but I would love the convenience of them all in one lol. Maybe one day! |

| My horses get 3-4 lbs omnis cubes, Renew gold and free choice hay right now being winter. I'm only paying $14 a bag but must be because of where I'm located. My horses always get complimented on how good they look. They seem to like them and do well on them. |

That's what I'm paying. Feeding the cubes to my 2 yr old. He loves them |

| Since Omnis aren't available in my area I did find a dealer fairly close to me that sells Select-Way cubes, they look to be higher quality than Triple Crowns cubes and they are $5.25 cheaper a bag than TC 
Anyone feed Select-way?? |

Same here, I can get a minimum of 4 tons drop shipped to me. Pretty good cube, not nearly as hard as some can be and they were fresh. |

Location: Opelousas, LA | I don't remember for sure, but it was a little over 1800 for 4 tons, even with shipping it was under $12 a bag. I bought them through a lady on Facebook, Select-Way LA, super easy to deal with. |
