Description

The 20% Deer Pellet is the gold standard for supplemental feeding. While deer can survive on native browse, achieving maximum antler size and healthy fawning requires a level of protein often unavailable in the wild. This formula provides 20% crude protein, which is essential during the “antler growing” months (typically February through August) when bucks are developing racks and does are gestating or lactating.

Beyond protein, these pellets are fortified with a precise balance of calcium and phosphorus—the two most critical minerals for skeletal and antler mineralization. The pellet form is designed for durability in various weather conditions and works efficiently in both gravity-fed and spin feeders. Highly palatable ingredients and added flavors ensure that deer quickly adapt to the feed, making it a reliable tool for land managers looking to improve the trophy quality and resilience of their local deer population.

  • Placement: Use covered troughs or specialized deer feeders to protect the pellets from moisture and reduce waste. Place feeders near water sources or established travel corridors.

  • Timing: For best results, start feeding in late winter (February) and continue through the end of the antler-growing season (August/September).

  • Caution: Do not feed to sheep. This product contains added copper which can be toxic to sheep.

Products FAQ

Why is 20% protein the standard for deer?

A buck’s antlers are roughly 45% protein when in the velvet stage. To grow large, dense racks without depleting their own body’s muscle mass, bucks require a diet containing at least 16–20% protein during the spring and summer.

Yes. While corn is a high-energy “candy” for deer, it is low in protein and minerals. Mixing 20% pellets with corn helps provide a more balanced nutritional profile that supports growth rather than just providing fat.

These are typically 3/16” or 5/32″ pellets, designed to flow freely through most standard spin and gravity feeders. However, always ensure your feeder is dry, as moisture can cause any pelleted feed to swell and clog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the product.

Calves can be introduced to 16% Calf Creep Feed as early as 4 to 6 weeks of age, once they begin showing interest in nibbling solid feed. Early exposure helps calves gradually adapt from a milk-based diet to grain and forage, supporting proper rumen development. Starting creep feed early can also reduce stress at weaning and encourage steady growth, especially when pasture quality is declining or milk production from the cow begins to drop.

I source my grain for animal and livestock feeds based on local suppliers. Often, I purchase directly from local farmers, especially if they produce seasonal crops. Additionally, I buy high-quality feed from larger agricultural supply companies when necessary to meet the specific needs of my animals.

To check the freshness of your feed product, start by examining its smell, as fresh feed usually has a natural, earthy scent. If it smells sour or musty, it could indicate spoilage. Next, check the appearance for any discoloration, mold, or clumping, which may suggest exposure to moisture. Feel the feed to ensure it’s not damp, as excess moisture can promote mold growth. Always check the expiration date, if available, and ensure the feed has been stored properly in a cool, dry place. Finally, look out for pests, as their presence is a clear sign of compromised feed. Regular checks and proper storage will help maintain the feed’s freshness and nutritional value.

Vital Signs in Horses

As a horse owner, you are the first line of defense. While your vet is the expert, you are the one who knows your horse’s “normal.” In an emergency, being able to provide accurate vitals can save your vet time and potentially save your horse’s life.

Horse Cooling Tips

When the humidity rises and the sun beats down, horses feel the heat just as much as we do—if not more. Because horses are large-bodied animals with heavy muscle mass, they generate a massive amount of internal heat, especially during work.

A Guide to Body Condition Scoring Your Horse

When it comes to horse health, “looking good” is subjective. One rider’s “fit” is another’s “thin,” and what looks like a “healthy curve” might actually be a metabolic red flag.

Body Condition Scoring Your Horse

Ever looked at your horse and wondered if that “roundness” is healthy muscle or a few too many flakes of alfalfa? While we all love a “shiny” horse, there is a fine line between well-covered and overweight.
