I know this discussion came up earlier in the fall and a lot of people were either for it or against it. Well I would like share a little of my experience with it. We have been feeding it for several years now. A lot of our deer have been raised on it. We feed year round with the exception of about 3 weeks a year. We stop feeding for a week at Thanksgiving a week around Christmas and than about 10 days in mid January. Last year we fed between 190 and 200 tons total thru out the year from January to January. I think we have 6-8 of our two year olds top 160 and we and about 5 of our 3 year olds top 200. These are pasture deer not bucks that were turned out in September to be shot. This is a combination of bucks that were born in the pasture and buck fawns that were turned on in March when they were 7-8 months old. We are very pleased with our results so far Yes it is a more expensive feed but it is well worth the money to us.
