Got this from Habitat Talk...any thoughts?
Any brand of good cattle mineral (Having 8% Phosphorus is the key).
If it has 8% phosphorus the rest of the nutrients will fall into place.
Add 1-2 lbs granulated garlic per 100 lbs.
5 lbs molasses mixed in and some on top.
Could add feed grade sulfur at .5 lbs per 100 too.
Get it out there by mid April. February is ideal. Into august.
The mineral with garlic are game changers for EHD IMO too.
I would clearly take measures to have it gone by deer season. Could dig it up with tractor or skid steer bucket. Or could cover it with a hay bale.
Don’t waste your $ on high salt content mineral with low phosphorus levels. It’s just overpriced diluted junk.
Deer can handle the copper. Chelated copper is best, at least that is what I was told by someone who really does know what they are talking about.
Different parts of my farm get hit way harder than others.
If new to it at all…. Add very little garlic & more salt/molasses to start. They get used to it & then u can increase rates of garlic a bit or whatever - they will pound it. Get em used to it!! Even adding a bit of cracked corn if u wanted to really try to get their faces in it and try it. Every spot of mine- they destroy it. But some spots it’s like a bag every 2 weeks and others every 1.5 months - everything in between.
