what are you paying for shavings?

[Leaf]

I am just getting my bottom into gear and getting a few bales in, my supplier last year is no longer around so I have got a price for bedmax 6.25 per bale is this pretty sensible? I am not mad keen on them any so other recommendations prices? (i'm in the south east)

Hmmm thanks for that jockmaster - may have to look into another supplier then as it seems I am paying a little over the odds!!

[Godknows]

Mine aren't Bedmax or Snowflake as your only paying for the name I pay £5 for shavings and are as good as snowflake

 

[ScarlettLady]

Shreaded paper,free and fairly easy to use, no chance I could afford the shavings!!
had tried aqua max pellets, but don't really like it, and for some reason he thinks they're pony nuts!

God Knows where abouts are you? (please don't say God Knows!!) PM if you want.

I just had some delivered today, my usual supplier who is normally pretty competitive. Usually they are unbranded dust extracted, but I noticed these are smart branded ones called Allspan (25kg). They are £7.95 each

Definitely WAY more than they were. Eeek! Thanks for posting this as I may not have looked at my bill if you hadn't!

 

[Izzwizz]

God Knows where abouts are you? (please don't say God Knows!!) PM if you want.

Heaven - lol!! Sorry couldnt resist.

My greedy NF also thought the pellets were pony nuts the dufus!
old mare at least Allspan are 25kg bags could have been worse ;-)

I have just paid £4.50 per bale for Thoroughbred, but had to buy 40 bales to get this price. I deep litter my 2 so they should last the winter, give or take a few extra bales. Bought form Wynnstay Farmers in welsh/shrops borders.

Horsecrazy/Wilsha - Where are you getting your shavings from? I have to use shaving this Winter, I usually use straw
