Funny you should post a topic over this.... I just recently switched to Kent feed, i am going to try it. Merrits used to feed it a long time ago and said they didnt have any problems with it, but that was the 16 % and i have a dealer 5 miles from my house (sure beats the 150 miles i was driving for feed) i didnt think there was an 18%, i bought the 17% to try, i am still on my first batch (switched about a week ago)
ok i am going to type this out.... sorry if theres typos--

When i switched everyone, they all seemed to take right to it, not many minded the switch at all. Now this feed costs me 10.15 a bag, when i buy a ton at a time, but i can also get the Purina Show for just under 15 a bag. So you can tell why i am trying this one first. They were on Tradition, i just cant get it here, and i have to many animals to be driving to KC ever few weeks to get feed.
I know there are lots of people who feed the Purina Show and do well on it.
Jags-- Why did you guys switch off of it?, i only bought 10 bags, so i can switch them off of it if need be and just go to Purina, as its the same price as the tradition was. as i know that one works.
Thanks if anyone else has any other info that would be great!!!!
