Minimum Protein Pen Size?

[175gr7.62]

We have decided to run protein in our place in Red River County. We are thinking 3 2000lb feeders on 1400ac. We have some awesome deer but we are also infested with hogs. Would 32x32 work? Plan on feeding AntlerMax unless there is something better.

Are cattle an issue? Mainly asking for square vs. round debate.

10 panels minimum. Make the pen round, not square

Round. 50' diameter I believe is the minimum recommended by A&M.

Round for sure. The bigger the better.

10 panel minimum, 14 seems perfect though and round

I make mine with 20 panels and highly recommend.

20 panels!?!? May have to rethink the whole protein thing.

This one is six panels, I didn’t have room for any more. Ideally, I would have went eight.

10 panels with t posts every 5' if you have cows.

[Hogmauler]

Why round? Does shape affect the deer?

10 panels minimum

I think our smallest is 13 panels. It seems fine but I prefer bigger.
