| I have found zero difference between them and other alfalfa products in regard to how horses look. I am currently feeding Bryant alfalfa pellets that are $4.50/ sack cheaper with great results. I also feed alfalfa hay and wheat hay because my entire herd is dry lotted.

| I think they are great alfalfa cubes but my horses did not always eat all of them, they didn't dig in like when I give them baled alfalfa. I can get pretty 120#lb bales for $23. I bought plastic hay feeders that hang low, very little to no waste now feeding the flakes. I didn't feed the omnis long enough to say they did or did not do good on them, my horses didn't convince me I needed to go through the hassles of getting the cubes since no dealer location is convenient for me. |

| My mare ate them for a while, then stopped. She seems to like the alfalfa cubes that come out of Colorado better than the Omnis. |

| I switched to Hay Rite after I found out Danco is cubing baled hay. I had some bags the horses just wouldn't eat, I think it had prob been rained on.
I've been super pleased with HayRite, they cube in the field and everyone here cleans up every speck! |

Both are good products and your info is not entirely correct.
But again, both good products.
Tdove will be along shortly to tell you why Danco is the "ONLY" product that is not going to cause the cataclysmic end of the world as we know it.

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | My only experience is I bought a horse that was on Omnis, so the seller sent a bag home with me. He didn't want to eat them, and picked for 2 days, letting the donkey have most of what I fed and choosing instead to eat grass hay, until I started putting a handful of rice bran in with them. Then he cleaned his bucket and started talking and pawing at feeding time. They look and smell fine--since that's what he had been eating, I don't know what the deal was. He looked great on them. |

I found that my picky mare will eat it if I put some CocoSoya oil and water on it. The gelding doesn't care, but he would probably eat a bucket full of nails too. |

| All 3 of mine are doing great on them, have never refused to eat them and they sure don't leave any in their buckets. In fact I had to cut back a little, 2 of them (the easy keepers) were putting on a little too much weight but they are also out on pasture, not the greatest pasture but there is some grass. |

The field cubing thing still intrigues me... Has anyone ever seen this process? I know that's what they claim, but wouldn't that be a great marketing tool if that's truly what they do? I've asked several times and have never been provided with any sort of proof...seems odd that someone around there doesn't have a camera phone. |

Location: Piedmont, OK | My horses are on Chaffehaye but I have one that refuses to eat it. I got Omnis cubes and she won't eat them either. She is a PITA. She will eat just about anything with a little Karo syrup on it. I guess she has a sweet tooth.  |

Location: Willows, CA | On the field cube process, I would love to see how they take the flax and oats out to the cube equipment and blend that in proper ratios in the field. That must be quite a process and a video would be a great selling point. |

Several hay growers here chop the hay and then run it straight into the cuber. Some of the others run a pile of baled hay into the cuber. I assume that they are refering to the first method. |

Hayrite claims to cube in the field. Danco never has...Hayrite doesn't make a complete cube, yet. |

If it's such a selling point, Jordan...then why wouldn't they want to show it to everyone? |
