We have 5 covered cattle troughs that we refill once a month. They eat almost all in troughs. We refill with 400 pounds of protein pellets,corn and roasted soybeans. That's 1 ton a month! We are going to add 3 more troughs this month which will increase our feed to 3200 LBS per month.
We grained drilled 36 bags of iron and clay peas this year into our bigger food plots. It took our deer 6 months before they would eat out of the troughs but now they are working on the feed!
We feed 12 months out of the year.
