Di-calcium phosphate and selenium aids lactating does at this time of year as well as the added phosphate for antler growth in bucks. Pike and I have disagreed about the benefits of the mineral supplementation. He is correct about providing extra salt if the "mineral" being supplemented is salt. There are other beneficial minerals such as those I mentioned that do much more in my experience. The trace mineral salt I add is for an attractant more than anything else. It's the phosphate and selenium I really want them to consume.
4evrhtn first its not me that disagree's with you its every expert and study that disagree's with you (which I provided for you)
2nd., You should NEVER give your deer herd selenium!! Selenium is important to cows, but can be toxic to deer, sheep and similar ruminants. Pike
