Has anyone tried to use cattle feed as a protein substitute? I get deer coming to my cattle feed after the cattle have left. I’m sure there’s some difference, the stomach systems are different but, won’t the deer limit themselves?

My deer seem to like the atwoods allstock. In my yrs hunting the san angelo area there were plenty of protein options at the local mills but now that i'm up north the options are alot fewer, I've been feeding the atwoods allstock 13%. I just noticed this last week that the atwoods pellets is a 40# bag instead of the normal 50# on most protein so it's not as good a deal as I thought. I also have mineral licks at all my feed spots to make up any difference.

I use Purina 4 States beef pellets it has plenty of calcium and phosphorus to grow good antlers on WT deer, Axis and Stags. Regularly have deer in the 180 - 190s, biggest so far is a 213" typical
Axis in the 32-35" range and large Stags. Biggest WT weighed 280# pre rut, Axis 295# and Stags over 500#
It is considerably less expensive than many deer pellets, have used it for years out of Shreveport. I like how it works.
