I tried it once.It ran through the one dog that would eat it.There's no comparison at all between this feed and black gold.Except for the white bag corn is the main ingrediant in the sexton bros.

Its funny that corn is the main ingrediant in their feed. Yet the excuse that the price of corn is going up, is always the reason that food is going up with other feeds. I geuss some are not as greedy as others.

I used to feed it all the time. It was the best dog feed around for its price. Did the dogs real well. The reason i dont feed it anymore is bc i got 1 ton of it and it was molded, i called them and they said thier is nothing they could do about it soo i havnt feed it since.

I feed the sexton's 24/20 and I also feed black gold 26/18. The dogs seem to do just fine on it. I have not had any problems with loose stool , but I deffinately feel Black Goldis a better dog food.There are probably 15 people that feed it in my immeaiate area. The sexton's wholesale price in my area is around 15.00 as of last week.

Why would anyone want to feed a corn based dog food? And then expect your dogs to perform.

Dog food cannot be compared by the protein/fat content alone! The first ingredient listed on the tag does not have to be the most prevalent ingredient anymore. You can list the slightest trace mineral first if you want. The quality of the ingredients is paramount. There are several different grades of most of the ingredients used in the manufacture of dog food. The "premium" in premium dog food comes from using "premium" ingredients. The corn used even in a 21/8 feed does not make a corn based diet, meat meal or meat and bone meal are the base of the diet, that is in any brand of dog food. Now, when comparing dog foods, you must compare apples to apples. If Sexton's is selling a 26/18 for $15/bag retail after shipping, it is safe to say there are some differences in the quality of ingredients. They do not have to tell you what grades of ingredients they use, that is where common sense comes in. I am not familiar with their feed but we have some regional companies in our area that try to compare with Black Gold and you have to remember that Black Gold is a national company, distribution in 48 states. The reputation of the company is built absolutely on using only the best quality ingredients. Never been involved in any recalls or have not ever shipped any moldy feed. I can assure you if there was a mistake made of any kind, ever, the feed is 100% guaranteed. Without a satisfied customer, at any price, you have no business.

A very large percentage of all dog foods made in America are manufactured under contract agreements with other manufacturers. A very small percentage have their own manufacturing plants. There are open formulations and proprietary formulations. A contract manufacturer has to enter into a confidentiality agreement with a proprietary formulation. So, it is not a big deal that Black Gold or Ol Roy or any other brand is manufactured by Doanes or any other company, it is what ingredients they put into the dog food that counts. The Ohio Doanes plant lost it's contract with Walmart to make Ol Roy because of quality issues, I do not know that a bag of Black Gold has ever came out of that plant. There are contract manufacturing agreements in every product known to mankind, why is it that it only makes a difference in dog food? The quality control is handled by the company, no matter where it's made, if it is not up to the quality standards of the company, it is not bagged and the manufacturer has to eat the mistake, how many mistakes do you think they want to make? As to the smaller less greedy issue, Black Gold does more for your sport if you are a coon hunter, than 20 companies the size of Sexton's. Ask the "less greedy" companies to pony up the sponsorship money that Black Gold does on a very regular basis, I bet it makes more of a difference in their price.

I used to feed sexton brothers all the time but the store i got it at changed hands and the guy that owns it now quit carrying it. Hey Its a great food the thing i noticed is a dog for the first week or 2 will have a loose or runny stool then its works good. As for Black Gold I bought into that crap that its what everyone feeds I think it sucks myself for the price that is I think Purina is better and easier to get my dogs dont like the black gold and my pups were fed black gold as pups i switched them to purina and now they wont touch black gold.

There are a certain amount of essential fatty acids in the black bag, just no additional amount added. I do not have anyone complaining about the way the coat shines on the black. If you think you need more the blue, red, Lamb & Rice, puppy and all of the Signature Series feeds have additional omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.
Yes, Black Gold is being manufactured in Halifax, VA under the direct supervision of a Black Gold manufacturing representative and according to the Black Gold formulations.

It makes me laugh how people get on here and try to compare some of these mediocre dog feeds to Black Gold. Who are they trying to kid. If people want to feed Sexton Brothers or Joy or anything else not named Black Gold or Purina they can and should if it is what they want to do but why do they then try to act like thier feed is better when its not. Bottom line if it was that good more people would feed it and the company would grow and not be a small company. Instead Black Gold and Purina have grown and are the feed of choice for a high majority of the top hounds in the country and I dont think its just coincidence. Its because they are better feeds.

I totally disagree. I do not care what the name of the dog food is, i personally want to feed the best dog food for the price. I am sure everybody appreciates donations at hunts, but what about the people that dont ever go to a hunt? What about us people that just love our dogs and want to feed them the best that we can afford? Black Gold in my area is $22 per bag for the 26-18, and I am currently feeding Hi-Standard 26-18 for $17.50. The Hi-
Standard has Omega 3 and 6, Black Gold does not, and Hi-Standard is all naturally preserved--Black Gold is not. So, if I can save $4.50 per bag or $180 per ton on a feed that many of us feel is just as good if not better, why not feed it? I am not saying BG is not a good dog food, just saying that there are companies out there that believe that quality and pricing is alot more important than donations. Guess that is why we live in the USA.
