Im still waiting on someone other than the Holden lease to post up bonafide results that back up the claims. I personally think it is the Yeti of deer protein. They werent the first but came up with a great marketing plan. Time may prove me wrong.

I manage a large low fence pasture. We switched this year to Dd. All I can say so far is that the deer have consumed a great amount of the feed in comparison to what we have fed in the past. And we have tried everything for the last 10 years. I am a firm believer that getting them to eat the feed consistently is the key. In tracking our numbers since January the numbers have been consistent. The consumption rates have been high. I know we are drier this year than we have been in the past 3 years but have seen similar conditions before with little success in getting the deer to eat it.
We may not see a big change due to range conditions, age structure or genetics but I know we finally found a feed that our deer will consume on a regular basis. That in itself is the most important to me.
Time will tell for us. All I know is the deer I have seen today are extremely healthy for the conditions we have.

If you're spending money on putting out high nutrition feed for deer to increase their nutritional plane, the higher percentage of their diet they eat the feed the higher the benefit. Pretty simple concept.

Whatever u feed it has to get digested. All feed is a supplement with the exception of penned animals.
I just know that our feed program was the best it has been this year. True a lot of money has been spent. A large amount of feed has been put out and very little wasted and never has the feed sat in a feeder over 30 days
We have spent less money on feed in the past they wouldn't eat so the money spent was not well spent.

Higher amounts of higher TDN feed=better conditioned deer=less nutritional stress=higher body weight, fat (reserves)=better antlers=higher survival rate=higher milk nutrition=higher fawn production and survival=more...
Small batch products that don't change ingredients depending on commodity markets are consistent and unaffected by corporate profits. Ask your feed producer if they change ingredients of the same "label" feed during the year to help the bottom line for themselves or the stock price. Local mills play the same game. DD is a consistent product that never changes to match the market.

DD has hit the nail on the head and found the perfect customers. Great job with the marketing.
