the sportmix feed will suffice for any of them, but to keep them at peak levels, Purina ProPlan. Its higher than most Name brand feeds, but is the best you can buy in my opinion. keep the circles, send them in, and ge the checks. It cuts down the oer pound cost to you.

Robert you must have missed the economical part.
Op try diamond naturals, it's a middle of the line food.

Can't say i missed anything. Economics is just what i am talking about. 7 dollar weight circle checks, couple that with feeding 1/2 as much each day to get the same results, and price for sportmix and Purina is about the same. I have used both, and the bill is about the same each month, using the above proven results that i have achieved.

For 9 months of the year I feed Supreme High Pro made by Tuffy's, it runs me $13.97 for 40.00. During the fall hunting season I mix it 50/50 with Diamond High Energy 24/20 just for my hounds, the boys hunt four nights a week and it keeps them in excellent shape.
I also raise English Shepherds they stay on the Supreme High Pro year round as well as the wife's Westhighland Terrier and my beagles. I've had excellent results from the Supreme High Pro, it is a much better feed than Old Roy High Pro or Purina Green Bag imho. We buy it at the local feed store, many of the lap dog puppy kennels around here feed it year round to their brood dogs. It's a great product for the price.

diamond feed is a good feed

Posted by Jamesbalog on 11-01-2011 09:57 AM:

I have used pride 24/20 and sportmix 24/20 with good results. The dogs like it and stay slim and healthy and their coats look great.

Around here I can get sportmix at tractor supply for $27 for 50# of feed and the pride I can get for $18.50 a 50# bag at the feed store if I buy atleast 10 bags

Posted by capt_agricultur on 11-01-2011 12:35 PM:
