The forages in this mix were developed and tested for the unique soils and weather conditions found in Texas and the surrounding regions. Triticale Forage Grain, “Texas” Sweet Clovers, and the best Forage Turnips are used in this mix to create an annual food plot that is unequaled for Texas.
Forage Grain Triticale: This forage grain is the hybrid cross of forage wheat and forage rye. The results of the hybrid cross produces a forage grain that stands head and shoulders above all other forage grain crops. The triticale produces abundant forage that is more palatable, higher protein content, and more digestible than other forage grains. These plants are more widely adaptable making them perfect to be planted in both northern and southern climates. Like other forage grains, deer love these plants as soon as they emerge from the ground, but with triticale deer will continue to forage on the plants longer into the growing season. Forage Clovers for Texas: A select group of annual clovers including “Texas” Sweet Clovers are used in this mix because they were developed for the unique soils and weather conditions in Texas. These annual clover plants establish quickly and are bushier than most other clovers and will give your deer herd a reliable source of high protein nutrition. Forage clovers’ consistent high level of protein (up to 35%) and their mineral content make it a forage that deer need and prefer.
Forage Turnip Brassica: The best yielding New Zealand forage turnip brassica to deliver the highest levels of protein and mineral content of any annual forage available on the market today, providing up to 38% protein. This forage turnip has been adapted to an extremely wide range of soils and weather conditions and will provide abundant large-leaf and root forage into the winter months. Average mature plant height is 24 inches tall. These forage brassicas have been selected to begin maturing in about 45 days. Once mature, they begin fixing more sugars in their leaves and become a huge attractant to deer. As the sugars are fixed in the leaves, the protein begins to increase and deer begin to forage heavily on the leaves to get the nutrients that they need. Cool weather will jump start these plants to increase it's sugar content.
