After the last bag was unusually rock hard, I gave up and switched feeds.
I just bought TC Senior feed packaged in the old style paper bags in Dec 2017. NOT a brick.(In Georgia)
I, too, switched to Pro Elite Performance from TC Complete. From what my feed store owner told me, the person who formulated TC Complete also formulated the Pro Elite (and added a few amino acids). Thatās what I heard, anyway. I was tired of using a shovel to break up my feed, and I was a DIE HARD Complete fan for YEARS.
I only go through 1 bag of TC Senior a month. If I used any more than that I might be too irritated at the solid brick bags to keep feeding it. But I store it in a vittle vault and use a rubber mallet to break it up while itās still in the bag before I transfer it. For the most part it doesnāt āre-stickā once in the new container.
Yes, they were developed by the same person 
Iāve read othersā accounts of the ābrickingā problem for years but never had the problem myself until just recently (mentioned it earlier in this thread). Can I just say what a royal pain in the rear end it is? Just one of those things that makes feed prep a teensy bit more difficult, which is not what anyone needsāmore difficultyāduring winter. I find myself hating to open my feed tub to dig out the next meal.
Iāve been a loyal Triple Crown Senior user for many years, but I can see why the hardness issue could cause people to switch! Especially if I had to prep feed for a larger number of horses!
Last month, my bricking problems with TCSr were out of control. For the first time, I realized why people get frustrated to the point of abandoning the feed.
But the most recent bags I bought over the weekend are different-- really oily, stronger odor, and no bricking at all. Iām not sure if they tweaked their formula, either because of the bricking or because of the milling changes?
