Mixture Components:
40% Forage Peas: Known for their high protein content and fast growth, forage peas provide an excellent source of nutrition for deer. These peas grow well in a variety of soil types and are highly attractive to deer, especially during the summer months.
30% Forage Oats: Oats are a high-energy cereal grain that helps to provide deer with the sustenance they need for both survival and growth. This component thrives in cooler spring and early summer conditions, offering a reliable source of food as deer prepare for the colder months.
30% Triticale: Triticale is a hardy, cold-tolerant cereal grain that adds both nutritional value and rapid growth to the mix. It’s known for being high in protein and energy, making it a great complement to the other components in the mix.
