Chopped miscanthus - Lincolnshire/leicestershire/Rutland

[Wagtail]

Does anyone know of anyone who supplies and delivers chopped miscanthus by pallet to this area? I am currently using efeed.co.uk for burlybed but was wondering if I could get it cheaper? (I pay around £8.60 a bale including delivery).

Colehay might be worth a look. I haven't tried theirs, but the price is pretty good! http://www.colehay.co.uk/product/miscanthus-available-by-the-pallet-36-bales/

Ask Wilsons (IEC) - they do it for poultry and now for equines, at least they do from their Market Drayton farm. I buy through a supplier and it is still no more expensive than the cheap shavings at £5.75/bale, delivered by said supplier.
They also have a place in Higham, Norfolk so would be worth asking about bulk deliveries or a local supplier http://www.iecsolutions.co.uk/softlay-bedding/about-softlay/

Thanks both of you. I looked at colehay and it is cheaper than I pay now except that it is £60 extra for delivery so that adds £2 to the cost of a bale. It is still slightly cheaper though. I will check out Wilsons.
