Feed question

[MIHunter]

So I’m building a feed trough to put inside my protein pen, for some added variety. I’m looking at cattle cubes, compressed alfalfa, alfalfa pellets, cubes, shredded, smart beets, sweet feed??? What do all use that out of the ordinary?

Thanks!

We used to put rice bran in a trough, deer out west loved it. Deer in south Texas don’t like anything but protein and CS

[Fishndude]

Yep. Try rice bran.

I’m just outside of Johnson City in Round Mountain.

I tried rice bran in SE Texas, they never touched it and it molded within a couple days in our humidity.

I’ve heard of people using sweet feed.

We just use protein pellets

Same for me with rice bran!
my deer go into my calves’ creep feeder inside my working pens to eat calf cubes.

If you feed anything other than Moore corn from H-E-B, you ain’t right.

I've had success with sweet feed, cattle cubes and rice bran. If it has molasses in it, good chance they'll eat it. You need to have a way to keep the rain off it though
Trail cam pics are hilarious when they're eating cattle cubes looks like they have a cigar hanging out their mouths

Alfalfa, CS, and sweet feed is what i put in my open trough.
