    Started cottonseed today

    I was farting around Tractor Supply today and saw that they are selling cottonseed this season. I’ve never fed it before so I got 3 bags and put a feeder together. If they take to it I’ll fill it up.

        On our ranch it took them about 2 weeks to take to it. Then they loved it.

          If you mix corn with it they will jump on it right away

            Don’t feed it too much longer. We stop around the end of August, maybe into September.

            I’ve been told it makes bucks sterile while cottonseed is in their systems.

              Interesting. I’ve heard that about young bulls too.

                False. Unless they are in a pen and have nothing else to eat.

                  So is it a year around feed or no?

                      Mix any kind of apple flavor attractant with it and they will take to it a lot faster. After awhile you won't have to mix anything with it.
                      Just pour it on.

                        I mixed corn on the top and around the outside.

                          I am not a pro on cottonseed nor anything else. Our experience was we tried it and they never touched it. I think it's more for when the deer are stressed out in January -August from the rut and lack of food. If it is out and free choice during the season they will come to it after dark and you are at camp.

                            What does a bag of cottonseed run?

                              It was $14.99 for 50 pounds.

                              I realize that’s pricey compared to buying in bulk but I wanted to test it out first.
