I love the Weisencobs and am lucky that I can get them locally from two retailers. I did try the Thunderbrooks Hay Cobs and they took hours to soak, they are much harder and then the ******* wouldn't eat them

My local feed store was the same. Putting in orders and not getting them therefore letting their own customers down, so they are switching to thunderbrooks as well.
Great feeds. It getting a hold of the supplier seems to be hard and orders seem to get lost quite a lot. I was feeding the muesli but my horse went off it, perhaps just as well as if it was the only thing he was eating I would be screwed.

I like them and can source them locally - hoping this doesn't change.

I sell Agrobs (Hampshire) and keep quite high stock levels to ensure a consistent supply for my customers in the event of any 'blips'.
Recently though ordering/delivery have been spot on, no issues!
They sometimes struggle to keep up with demand as feeds like the Musli are produced to order and it requires a crystal ball to know what demand will be!
Michelle has always been more than helpful (even when I've moaned!), dropping feed down to us in her own van and fast tracking pallet loads when I've underestimated the supply/demand, lol!
IMO it's in a totally different league to Thunderbrooks (which we do also stock) and the Musli (for example) is in no way comparable to Agrobs. and it's more expensive!?
Agrobs are totally unique in what they do and although many are trying, it is not possible to imitate successfully.
The main stream companies are starting to realise what a huge market 'natural feeding' has grown into and are trying to 'tap' into it but sadly they are light years behind in both products and understanding despite their best efforts :-/

It's the only feed my picky cob will touch. Turns his nose up at Thunderbrooks and everything else (I'm sure he'd eat any of the mainstream c rap that's on offer but I don't feed any of that).

Could you possibly enlarge on this for me please Milkmaid? I was about to buy Thunderbrooks version of Weisencobs since they can be bought locally, unlike Agrobs but I'm really wavering.
Are TB's not as palatable? Do they soak to a mash like Agrobs? Price aside, how exactly do they differ? I'd welcome your (or anyone else's) honest opinion.
I may just bite the bullet and take a hike to a distant retailers and buy a few bags of Agrobs to make the travel worth it but I'm so undecided.

Agrobs have just had a second price increase in 2 or 3 months,Methinks they are going to lose quite a few customers.The aspero chaff is now more then £18.
