Would you suggest mixing salt with a mineral mix made for deer, like WI 30-06 or Vita Rack 26. Also, Bass Pro has a mineral mix called "On Track" it has a much higher percentage by volume of calcium and phosperus (what horns are basically made of) than Vita Rack 26. It cost $14 for 20lbs. the V/R 26 cost a lot more. In this case are you just paying for the name on the bag? The same goes for seed, I just planted a mix of Ladino Clover and Chicory that I got from a farm seed supplier, does anyone think that it is inferior to WI "Chicory Plus"? I got 10lbs. of the mix I used for the same price as 3lbs. of the "Chicory Plus". I'm not tryin to start an arguement, and I will pay more for better products, I would just like to hear what some other poeple think.
I think the products are the same thing, the owner of our local feed/seed store sells both and says he's planted them side by side and never seen the premium seed do any better than the generic. We only use generic.
