I feed corn year round in antler growing season Feburary through late September I put Antler King mixed with cotton seed meal in my protein feeders I also plant 3 plots with oats, wheat, & winter peas for the season. I used to plant spring plots but they don't make it through our dry summers.

I live in flour bluff and have access to a lot of crystal meth. I've found sprinkling a small amount on top of the protein feeders really keeps the deer lively and coming back for more.

20% protein (Red Chain Mills) free choice....
Corn & Soybean mix in spin feeders...
Also have some corn gravity feeders outside of the pen (when the cows are rotated off the property)
Started using a salt lick this year...curious to see how much they use it....
Things I've tried that didn't work....
- peanut butter, Chaffhaye, (insert every kind of attractant ever made here...deer cocaine, krave, etc....)...anything new I add seems to spook them...

next time you're in the feed store, ask them what type of goat feeds they have. Most of them run 18 - 22% protein and there ususally cheaper than buying the "deer" feed.

Not many goats are grown for antler growth. That feed will be cheaper since it will not have the mineral/vitamin package that whitetails need. Cheaper priced feeds are cheaper for a reason.

From February til they shed the velvet off their alters I feed golden nuggets from a spin cast. Afterwards I feed 50% golden nuggets and 50% corn. They seem to like the sweetness of the protein
