Homemade Mineral Recipes

RE: Homemade Mineral Recipes
I go to my local grain elevator and get a generic cattle mineral mix by the 50 lb. bag, and 50 lb. bags of trace mineral salt. I mix 2/3 mineral to 1/3 salt. The mix costs about $0.20/lb., and works like a charm. It's the easiest and least expensive way to mineral deer. Has most of the same stuff in all the expensive name brand stuff.
I typically put out about 2,000 lbs. of mineral per year. If I go with the name brand stuff, I'd have to give up a couple morgage payments!

Somebody told me once abou deer hitting salt in the spring in summer and said they added a little sugar to get them to hit there spots in the winter time...anyone heard of this? Because alot of store supplements/attractants are sweet so it kinda makes since

Hey guy I'm wanting to feed some minerals but the stuff you buy at sporting goods stores is way overpriced. I know i can save lots of money(buying in bulk and mixing)going to feed stores and local co-ops, but i was wondering what minerals i should buy and how much? Thanks
As far as how much you could put 1 block for every 50 acres, but 1 block for every 100 acres is fine. Pike
