This is a fresh shed I found today. Not sure how long it's been on the ground. It is chewed to heck!

We have cows, sheep, and goats-I find one shed about every 3 years.

A lot of animals eat antlers. Good source of calcium

We look for them pretty heavy starting in March, we have to beat the critters to them.

Porcupines are hell on antlers. Will make one disappear overnight.

Cattle, deer, coyotes, squirrels, rats, mice, and porcupines will all chew up antlers quickly.
