For those of you who are feeding Purina Strategy - how much is it costing you per bag?  How much do you feed?

We fed Purina Strategy during XP2001, as it was a feed we could buy at any
Purina dealer, which we found easy enough when we traveled. Horses seemed to
like it. Because it is in those small pellets, it also makes a nice mash
when wet. We fed it daily for the time the horses were on the XP, but
because that was unusual circumstances, I can not tell you much more on how
the horses did. They ate it (and would often not eat other feeds) and seemed
to hold weight well enough, and have a good attitude and energy level.

I am starting to feed it now , but I am not much on daily grain and
supplements as long as I have good pasture or hay, so could not give you any
"educated information" on the product. Because we are getting ready to the
Bryce XP, I just want to get the horses started on eating it, as I will feed
it at the ride, and mix some in the beet pulp mash for traveling to
encourage them to eat more on the road. Sorry I was not much help. I am sure
there are a few using this feed with their endurance horses on a more
consistent basis, that can give better opinions on how well it feeds.
