I am moving to ziop code 43035 and I am looking for something preferably pelleted, 14% protein, at least 6% fat (higher the better), low starch, and high fiber, I really like these two from buckeye and I think I can get them if I go to cashmans.

^^^^I like that fat level but the fiber is to low and I do not like the idea that the 1st ingredient is corn

http://www.buckeyenutrition.com/equi...ngformula.html

^^^^This I really like but it is texturized and I know that it will upset his ulcer.

You have more then One Buckeye dealer LUCKY you ..

For addtional information please contact your kalmbach feed representative.

This is a fixed formula feed and actually smells pretty good and taste pretty good (yeah I tried it). Tell me what you think of this because I think this is what I am going to buy. I can feed this to everyone in the barn and not have to play the mad scientist mixing feed anymore at night.

Also, if I buy this, someone please tell me how to switch from a grain based feed to this ration balancer because the amount I have to feed of this is a quarter or more less than what I am feeding of everything else.

I had to go through and hand type all this because the website to the tribute line is under construction

They do not have this feed listed on their site but this is one page I did find that was not product specific.
http://tributehorsefeeds.com/Int/recommend.html

Also from reading I have found that triple crown and tribute are both related to the same company kalmbach, which is something I never knew before.

I have heard WONDERFUL things about the Essential K it is suppose to be JUST LIKE the Buckeye Gro N Win ... in fact some nutritientist that left Buckeye disigned and marketed it off of the ORGINAL Gro N Win

This is actually what the lady told me that I talked to with the company about the feed and I did not think to much about it because most of the time I have found that a lot of the things these companies say is a bunch of hot air, all I knew was that I liked the feed and I thought I would give it a try. She also even told me if I want to try it, that for every bag I buy the first time, she will give me a bag for free. The guy at the store did not know much of it because he had not been to the meetings all about the new feeds so he immediately let me talk to a lady from kalmbach feeds about it. He has told me though that ever since he started to carry the Essential K that he sells around a skid per week of it and he has only carried it now for about 3 months.

Take pictures before you start it and once a month ... you will be amazed at the difference!!! It is suppose to be really good stuff I can't get it in my area but alot of Buckeye people are changing too it...

When Mars Candy bought Buckeye they changed a couple ingredients in the Gro N Win the Essential K is the orginal recipe!!!

So you are actually buying th orginal Gro N WIn before Mars went to some cheaper ingredients!!

Yay, now I am proud of myself!!! I went and bought it today and am going to start to feed it tomorrow moring along with what they are eating now. The representative told me to top dress it onto what they are eating now until I run low on the other and then do it like I would any other feed change, wean them from the old feed and leave them only the new feed to eat.

I thought about the picture thing, I am going to take some in the morning and then every week for a couple months and then go from there and see what they look like.

It sounds like a very good feed!! I use Progressive and the ingredients and amounts are very close if not exact to what my label reads. Do you mind me asking how much for a bag? Progressive is $32 a bag and if I could find something that is that close but less expensive I would love it! My boy goes through a bag every 5-6 weeks so it can get spendy. Thanks in advance.

If you compare the Buckeye, Progessive, Essential K and Horsego you will notice they are all very close ... with the Essential K and Horsego being the cheaper of the four
