I've had great results just throwing down a bag or two of plain water softener pellets on the ground starting in the spring. The rain melts it into the ground and the deer keep eating/licking the dirt all year long. I also will throw some mineral stuff I get at Tractor Supply.

In Texas Dical phos is very hard to get but you can get bio phos pretty close hopes this helps every one

Wow I called about 15 different feed stores and havent had much luck. Where have y'all found these minerals? What prices?

Weimer has di Cal at $30
Trace mineral at $23
Salt at $6

Thats way more than what's posted above. Did prices go up that much?

[Stan R]

I got the trace mineral at Standley's feed store in Madisonville.

The stock salt and nurtebeef mineral at Tractor Supply.

I do not remember what I paid.

In Texas finding Di cal is ls like winning the lottery. Bio-phos is just like Di cal. Works very well mineral salt. I also put granulated molasses in it. Deer and hogs love it. If you have lots of hogs like I do in s Texas just put a fence around it. Good luck.

Mix it with mineral salt, granulated salt and granulated molasses
