    How much protein

    Just curious how much feed everyone has gone through so far?

    Just under 50 tons.... As it turn off dry and hot, consumption will increase a bit due to the natural foods declining in palatability. A more accurate way to compare would be to ask on a per deer basis....

    For example, I estimate approx. 300 adult deer on my property. That would equate to 333 lbs per deer thus far, or 2.22 lbs per deer per day. Which is in line with my expectations and averages.

              Looks like we are at about 110 tons so far. Add cotton seed since January which we will stop in August.

                    We just tested a 10 day run and on our bulk feeders they are eating about 67 lbs a day each feeder. That doesn’t count the timed feeders.

                        3 timed feeders open from 7 am to 7 pm. Going through a ton every 2 1/2 weeks since 1st of year. Did get a little break while we had some rain last month.

                          we are averaging 1 ton a week of protein, and 1 ton a week of cottonseed, since the beginning of January.

                            We have just under 400 acres and we have fed nearly 10,000lbs of protein and 4,000lbs of cottonseed.
