    Probably to let faws squeeze in, but keep hogs out. Piglets will obviously get into the pen, but wont be tall enough to get to the feed trough for corn/protein.

    Thats just my guess, i could be wrong

        You're right. This is the first time I've tried leaving a small gap for fawns in our pens and curious to see how they work.

          Feeding fawns is important. Here are a couple of exerts from a Ceasar Kleberg study on fawns and feed pens. Good job on making the gaps DKJ....

          If anyone would like the FULL pdf version of the study and their findings just pm me you email address.

                Finally got some pictures. Below are pictures of a 15 ton delivery of WCS, the pen we made to keep out the yard goats, and a feeder full of WCS.

                              So, we started adding cottonseed to our supplement program on May 5. There are signs that deer have been around the feeders (tracks on the ground and indentions to the seed pile through the wire--as if they're sniffing it) but it doesn't look like they're eating it yet. I know it's only been a few weeks and there is a lot of new growth from recent rains, but I figured they would have hit it by now since it's in the same pen as pellet feeders that get hit hard. Whining aside, I'm extremely great full for the rain and extra food it's put on the ground.

                              I know people have sped up the process by mixing corn or other attractants but I do not want coons and hogs to also be attracted. I realize it's probably the billion dollar question, but has anyone used anything that will attract deer to the cottonseed but not hogs and coons? We thought about the feeder tops (thx MexBowhunter) but that won't do anything for hogs.

                              Also found a pretty big track in one of the pens--Ol' Slew Foot!

                                Ya looks like they are picking at it quite a bit. To start my deer I just poured a sack of corn around each basket. Didn't mix it with the corn, just went around it. That's all it took!
