Anyone ever used cotton seed for deer feed. If so where did you get it and what did it cost.

I had never heard of it before. But seen several videos where folks in TX was making a wire cage and filling it with cotton seed, most were putting it next to there protein feeders. Said coons wouldn't eat it because of a chemical it contains but ruminants had no problem with the chemical. Figured you might could get some from a gin but not sure where the closest gin to Walker Co would be.

It's 152 a ton right now. I used to feed it to my cows and goats. Very good feed, the trick is how to get them to start eating it. Don't know if deer would eat whole cotton seed.

Just don’t feed it close to the rut, because from what I have been told, it can make deer sterile. They feed a lot of it in TX.

I’d bet that’s gintrash. Not cottonseed

Cattle farmer near me grinds cotton seed and corn together to feed cows. My goats love his mixture


Or what Tigger said

It doesn’t flow worth a shucks outta a feeder. But can be done. One of my cotton farmers had pile of cows and he’s making his own corn/cottonseed feed. He’s making me a trial run for deer

Don't knock it till you've tried it...soybeans, cotton seed and corn sounds good.

I mixed cotton seed meal with corn and a little salt, it didn't take long for the deer to cleanup the mixture daily. I liked the protein levels compared to corn.

Why not add some rice bran to the soybeans & cotton seed? I bet the deer would really like that...

Re: cotton seed, Maybe some of you guys with backgrounds in wildlife management have read up on this, but I remember studying way back in the day about lots of promising research being done with gossypol, found in cotton seed, as a male contraceptive. At that time is was being tested in China. I have no idea about use or effects on deer.

You don't eat the stuff. Feed it to the deer.
