Interesting thread guys. I am getting alot of good info. Personally I have found the sites that I use the livestock blocks at get just as much attention as the high dollar deer specific stuff. I am not saying the results are the same on the deer's racks, but it they both draw the deer to them.

ok now lets do the math. First of all we all know that the majority of deer antlers and milk is calcium and phosporus (cant remember the exaxt percent)

my mineral has about 8.8% more calcium
same phosphurus
25% LESS SALT

seems like grandpa otis is paying top dollar for a lot of salt
