Ive always fed what i feed now for years, my horses look great on it. The feed store that carried it closed down, so now I'm driving 45 mins to buy the feed, Ive been thinking about switching to Tucker milling Solution 10-10-10
I currently pay 13.25 a bag and drive 45 mins, whereas the tucker milling is 20 mins away at 12.00 a bag.

Im just don't want to worry about my horses falling off so i attached the Guaranteed Analysis for both feeds below, unfortunately i couldn't find the ingredients for the tucker milling online
Are the two feeds that much different?
Ive also looked into ADM but i just don't wanna spend 20-25 on a bag of feed and my horses not look as nice as they do now and I'm spending more money.

I just switched all mine over to omnis cubes. It's been three weeks and so far I'm very happy with how they're doing on them and it's very easy to feed and store. We don't have much of a setup at our new place yet so we have to store all of my horse stuff in my SO shop so not having loose hay everywhere and dropping across the yard has been a big bonus! They have a round bale and loose mineral/salt out 24/7 and they take longer to finish the cubes than the grain I was feeding. My gelding has always been sloppy and dropped feed but eats these great!

I had a horse almost die from eating cubes. So I wouldn’t feed them. But Muenster Milling has great feeds if you can get them where you live. The feed is extruded. Don’t have to feed nearly as much

Both Tucker Milling and ADM produce their horse feeds in the same mills they produce their medicated cattle feeds. Neither are a safe option.

Seminole Feeds are produced in 100% ionophore-free mills. Purina, while not my favorite, is a safe option available everywhere.

Where is your area? 
If you contact your local feed store, and ask if they would want to become a dealer for Omnis, I bet they could get them...
