Speaking of feeds, I am in the process of changing feeds.  If anyone 
has feedback on the following, please do.

My feedstore has become unreliable,so I am changing stores and hence 
have to change feeds.  The new store is a Purina store.  I guess they 
are all either Purina or Darigold, along with MAYBE some local feeds.

So, I used to feed an 11% protein, alfalfa based local feed with 
minimal sugar.  I only feed 1-2 lbs a day mixed in with lots of wet 
beet pulp and  vitamins and a Selenium and Vitamin E suppliment.  The 
feed is more a device to encourage them to eat everything else.

I looked at two Purina feeds today:

  Ultium and Strategy AX.

 The Ultium was twice as expensive as the Strategy. The store clerk did 
not know why, and the printed materials did not help.  The only real 
difference (aside from price) that I could tell was that Ultium has a 
lot of sugar and also has beet pulp.  I can add my own beet pulp.

I decided to "try" the Strategy.
