Location: In the Hills of Texas | Here is my new worry...I see so many new dealers I'm kind of worried I'm going to get hooked on them and then there won't be enough to keep my horse on them year round. |

That is a good question. I just e-mailed Dan and I will get back on here later and let you know what he says. |

Location: Opelousas, LA | There should not be any problems with year round supply, however there could be shipping delays this winter due to weather. As long as your dealer reorders early enough to keep stock on hand in case of a delay there should not be a supply issue. |

Location: Beggs, OK | This is what I have been told as well. I was pleased with how quickly I had my order once it was placed. They shipped on Tuesday and I received my truckload Thursday evening. I have been getting great reviews from the people in this area who have tried it so far. |

| I'm going to go ahead and try the omnis as soon as my closest dealer gets restocked. Hopefully this week. I've really got to try and figure out how to cut down on my feed bill and my biggest expenses seem to be keeping alfalfa hay. The last few bales I got were so stemmy they wasted more than anything. |

This has been one of my favorite things about the Omnis cube....no waste! If they happen to drop any the pieces are big enough that they can pick them up and eat them. My daughter's little mare is a cribber and usually destroys her lead ropes. Since we have started hanging a bucket of Omnis cubes at the trailer for her instead of a hay bag she has stopped her stress cribbing. She just hangs out and picks at her cubes and stays totally relaxed. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | Since the company is growing their own hay, and they are trying to grow their market, what happens when the demand outpaces their in-house hay production capacity? Will they use contract growers? Rent or buy more land? I'm just curious, as this goes with what I think NTO was asking.

Exactly...there is no such thing as an endless supply. If there was we wouldn't have hay shortage problems during droughts.

I'm been feeding the Mustang Sally and in a week or so I should be getting some of the Omnis Cubes.
I guess if I really like it I will just have to buy enough so I won't run out. |

Mine prefers baled Alfalfa as I'm still giving him one flake of that with all the coastal he wants. Once he eats that Alfalfa he goes and picks on the cubes. |

Mine are hogs. They think it is a treat after eating beet pulp |

Location: West Texas | Mustang Sally is 100% alfalfa with a small amount of natural bentonite binder.
Sorry there are no dealers on Oregon , but as always we are open to prospective dealers and can ship truckload wholesale orders.
There is pretty much and endless supply. The hay is all irrigated and there is virtually thousands and thousands of irrigated alfalfa in production and the plant is has capacity for growth. If growth out paces workforce at the plant, you could see temporarily increased wait times, but more labor indeed would be added. Also trucking delays in winter could be an issue too, but again, temporary delays. We will add trucking and labor. We do not for see either being an issue, but it is a possibility, and it will be very temporary delays of just a few days, as dealers will work to make sure they have stock.
As far as the hay, oats, and flax there is plenty of current production and we are set for any expected growth. We are even putting in new irrigated alfalfa fields this year to be ready for any future growth as well. I hope this eases your concern. We have more private land in irrigated alfalfa, owned by a cubing plant than probably any other plant in North America. |

Location: Oklahoma | Thank you for the response. I will try to get a bag. I like feeding cubes, but the ones I was feeding are so hard and I don't like letting them soak in the summer heat. |

| I'm wondering how the omnis would work being fed with renew gold. Currently I'm using blue bonnet omega force and I love it but feeding 5 horses ... I'm feeling the pinch. I actually have one horse on the renew gold right now she looks just as good as the boys on the OF. so I was thinking I might be able to cut back a little by putting everyone on the rg. |

We feed BB Omega Force and have cut WAY back since we started feeding the Omnis cubes. Some of our horses only get 2# of Omega Force twice a day and most don't get any at all. |

Are you feeding any hay ? Because that's what I'm wanting to replace with the omnis. I'm really only feeding the hardest keepers 4lbs PER DAY of the OF right now. My easy keeper is only getting 2lbs PER DAY. if I can cut back even more that'd be great. |
