    Interested in cheaper protein? Looking for feedback

    GS,

    I'm in the process of gathering market data, analyzing focus groups, and getting direct consumer feedback for a friend that is entertaining the idea of producing a deer protein pellet. Without divulging too much information, or infringing upon patents and legal boundaries, the potential details of the pellet are as follows:

    16% protein
    Mixture of minerals, corn, vegetables, and others (full blend will be on label)
    More nutritional and healthier than standard protein.
    50 lb bag
    Price point is targeted to be less than what is currently on the market (won't know until fully released)

    The current blend is used for high end beef manufacturing, sustaining a heavier weight and healthier animal. The blend will slightly be adjusted to reduce some costs but, the product will offer full nutritional value to the herd. The deer will not only gain horn development but will also gain "good" weight, limiting the post-rut drop off in weight.

    I'm looking for feedback from the GS. What do you think? Would you buy a cheaper protein at 16%, that includes other factors in the blend? Any and all comments are welcomed. This data and feedback will be analyzed.

    If anyone has immediate interest in purchase or trial use, please PM me.

        The most important thing is that they have to like it. Will they eat it?

          These are very early, preliminary stages but it won't take much to make a few pallets or more. Like I said, I'm mainly gathering interest levels at this point.

          You are right Unclefish, they have to like it. I've been feeding protein all over Texas for the last 20 years, and knowing what is in the mix, I think they'll love it. However, we won't know until we test it.

          If I can share more details, I definitely will.

            I have been feeding a 16% goat protein pellet for several years on our small place, the deer hammer it. So yes, would be interested in the trying ur blend, especially if priced right.

              I have a couple places I will let you test it on. I'm not all about it being cheaper. I just want a good product with results. The last time I bought 17%protein in Gorman it was $9.50/50lbs. I like their brand so it might take $8 or less to get me to switch.
