I get it from HogzGoneWild. He lives in Conroe and always has what I need when I need it. I usually get 5 bags or so at a time but he will sell you however much you want.
Send him a PM and he will hook you up.

Taste of The Wild. I get it at Tractor Supply, i only have four dogs. It is a grain free dog food. They go once a day. I give them 3 cups or a 8 ounce cool whip bowl. I feed in the evening. It's friday look out pigs.

I buy the taste of the wild for one or two of my Aussies who aren't on the Victor. Taste of the wild will break the bank! It seems to be great feed, but it costs me $23 for 15 lbs of the bison and venison formula. Ouch!
Cheers

I feed diamond hi energy .I tried that red flannel hi energy,found it on sale at the local feed store for $10 per 50lb bag, and a couple of my dogs lost weight and the lazy dogs did fine on it.Red flannel dog food is something like 26/10 {not for sure on that,But low fat %}so its not as good for real active dogs.almost like givin em crack or speed,they have alot of energy but iose weight.LOL So its diamond from now on cause my dogs do excellant on it and I can find it everywhere.

Ive been feeding Sportmix bite-size, its not the best but my dogs are just chilling through most of the summer because that's my busy season. $15.99 for 40# at Arcola feed and tack. Yeah they poop more than I like right now but for me its puppy training time and time for the big dogs to hunt maybe once a week

been using Diamond hi-energy. Results OK. My feed store gave me a bag of Sportmix to try with basically same formula. They want to switch due to pricing. are they pretty comparable?

Graydog, my dogs always did a lot better on the Sportsmix than the Diamond... I think you'll like it. |

I think you'll like it. x2 I read the ingrediants of victor and it does seem even better but i cant find it around mckinney and dont like the 40lbs bag..... HAVE VICTOR USERS NOTICED THAT A 40LB BAG LASTS AS LONG AS A 50LB SPORTMIX BAG SINCE YOU SHOULD TECHNICALLY FEED LESS DUE TO BETTER INGREDIANTS?? |

I'm feeding less of the Victor and the dogs are doing better on it than the Sportsmix... so I don't mind the 40# bags.

I feed exceed 30/20, get it at sams club.
30 bucks a bag, but a coffee can feeds 3 grown dogs and I have found no food that compares to it.
Every feed I have switched to they have fell off immediately on the same amount of feed.

Mike, thanks for the input on the Sportmix. I've only been on this site for a couple of weeks but I really enjoy the various topics. I see that you have to be thick skinned, because there is some pretty good ribbing going on. just like hunting with other people's dog and razzing them about not being as good as yours!
