Cotton Seed

Anyone know of one near Comanche?

2x4 welded wire works great for feeders. Place a t-post, and put the wire around it.


water tote cages work well also

AC-

About how many pounds would you say that feeder will hold? I’m trying to figure out how much to get.

The one in the pic holds about 275 lbs. you can make them as big or as small as you need.

I haven't noticed them eating mine. Some may have different experiences. I have mine in a pen, and sometimes calves get in, but don't eat it. Coons don't eat it. That's a big plus!

I would build a pen if I were you if you have hogs or cows

What time of year is t recommended to start and stop feeding it? Going to feed it along with 20% pellets this year. I know that deer will only eat so much of the pellets without having water close by; due to the protein getting hot in their stomach. Is this the case for Cotton Seen as well? I've heard that you can't feed it year round. Is this true, or will it make bucks sterile during certain times of the year?

I started feeding cottonseed for the first time last year along with the pelleted protein I always fed and it took the deer 5 months to figure out cottonseed was something they could eat. Once they figured it out, they hammered it.

Thank you, I’m going to make a few of these.

Based on how exposed the feeders are, I’m assuming it can be stored in an area that could get wet?

Does it eventually rot or go bad? I’m wondering how long we can use it if we run into the same problem that deerwatcher had the first 5 months.

Where in the Menard area sells it by the ton.

It does not go bad. It can take any kind of weather.

Yes, we tried to fence out 94 heifers and watched 10 tons vanish!
