Default deer feed

Curious as to whether any members here have experience with shredded beets as a food supplement. I plan on adding mineral blocks also.

A lot of guys in MI use whole beets as bait, but I've never heard of shredding them for feed or bait.

deer LOVE beets. ive only ever used whole. ive had the most success planting a whole food plot full of beets. they love the greens, and then they pull the beet out as well. the biggest buck iv'e ever killed i killed over a plot of beets. he is the buck in my profile pic. hope this helps

It's the result of the beets being processed and then shredded and bagged. Comes in pellets or loose. Used mainly for horses and livestock. Was hoping someone had some experience good or bag, with deer.

Fellow I used to work with sliced them on a kruut cutter for bait.
If it is sold for live stock feed it should be fine for deer. mix in a little sweet feed.
