Location: Desert Land | I have been paying $20 for a bag. There is a guy in town that goes to all the feed stores/tack stores and buys a pallet of misc. items that are damaged, returned, whatever. He has to buy the pallet at random and get everything included. He had been getting a lot of Renew Gold. It would have just a small tear somewhere on the bag or something like that. And I am totally fine with that.
I've got to be honest though...if I had to pay $30+ a bag for it, I would not be feeding it. I just started feeding in a couple of months ago and not completely sure I like it more than what I was doing before. |

Location: 31 lengths farms | You feed by weight and work load so in my case my 1000lb 10 year old mare that has a light work load gets 1 lb a day so the bag last her 30 days. |

Location: Willows, CA | The way to get the most out of Renew Gold for your $$ is to be sure that the entire feeding program fits the horses digestive system. Also, you need to be sure that the system does not have road blocks that will not allow it to work efficiently. Parasite control, and proper care of the teeth so that the horse can properly chew its roughage are vital. Where the basic ability to process the diet is concerned, I see neglected teeth cause more problems (including ulcer issues) than anything else. A little discomfort in the mouth starts the domino effect of inefficiency down through the system. Next, don't feed more than 2 pounds of any concentrate or combination of concentrates at any given meal. That allows the horse to break down the starches and sugars in any concentrate given (even low starch ones) with the available enzymes in the small intestine, keeping them out of the hind gut. A final thought is that the best money you can spend where supplements are concerned is to keep that money and use it to buy better hay. That is the base of the diet, and the better the hay, the less support from other sources of nutrition are needed. This is the type of diet that Renew Gold supports best, and results on the best return of your feed dollar.

The teeth thing was proven to me recently. I talked with winwillows about my gelding's inability to rebuild his top line to my satisfaction. He told me to get his teeth floated since it had been 12 months since the last float. I did and 3 weeks later after having changed nothing else his top line is as good as it has ever been. |

| $30/bag on Central Coast of CA. I love it. My horses literally lick their buckets. It's been good for rehabbing my old gelding, growing my weanling into a three year old, and keeping my broodmare looking nice. |

Location: South Central Florida | I pay $32? I have a question though, My horses have a lot of grass. I'm blessed with that. It is bermeuda grass, I have forgotten what kind. One pasture is a Tifton something. Anyway, I don't use much hay. In the winter when the grass gets shorter we buy Round bales (down here we call them Hay Rolls) of Jiggs. So if I fed Renew Gold to all my horses, do I also need to do hay, when they have good grass 24/7? |

| $34 here in Nevada. I absolutely looooove the way my horse looks on it. I saw a big difference! Won't be changing unless the price jumps up.
Remember they have the gold member club too. Buy 10 get 1 free! |

Location: mn | I just went to pick up my order of Renew Gold at the feed store today, and it went up $5!! She called the company to ask why such an increase and how was she to explain that to her customers. She was told it's because the price of soy had gone up. Soooo i'm dropping it. There are other quality feeds out there, and I feed very little grain anyway and high quality forage. Sorry, but the price is getting a little outrageous. |

Location: Willows, CA | Someone is not telling you the truth. First, there is no Soy in Renew Gold. Second, there has not been a Manufacturer price increase for almost year. The last price increase occurred last winter when coconut meal increased. That price increase was $0.55 per bag to distributors. Third, No one has called to ask us about a price increase. We do hear of stores raising the price on their own. They have that right, it is their business, and it is not legal for us to tell them what to sell for.
