Which hay do your piggies prefer?

I'm going to be ordering some hay on Friday and I'm not sure which one to get.
What exactly is ings hay?
 
I ordered the sample of 3 hay types. From the three, I think Ings was the softest and greenest, so if I have no other option, I would choose it. The pigs weren't too impressed with either hay, although they ate it eventually. The hay is quite brown and it's first cut - so it's mostly stems and little bit of leaves.
 
I ordered a sample pack of the 3 hays.. My boys weren't at all keen on the timothy hay as it was not green at all. They did seem to like the Ings hay though so I've just ordered a big bag of it so hopefully they will continue to like it
 
I tried the sample pack three weeks ago,none liked the timothy and rye,all devoured the ings,which is organic hay apparently grown near a water supply,eg a river,stream in Yorkshire.its very green and all 15 0f my piggies love this.the meadow hay was also eaten,but not to the same gusto as ings hay.some of mine will eat the timothy hay uk,it is very green,and grown in the uk.
