    2 parts Trace Mineral (red granular)2 bags #100
    1 Part stock salt 1 bag #50
    1 Part Di-Calcium Phosphate 1 Bag #50

    When it says 2 bags #100 of Trace Mineral it means 2 bags of 100 lbs. right?
    And then you get 50 lbs. of Part stock salt and part Di-Calcium Phosphate?

    I have heard of this recipe from more than just you Jeff, but I want to ask a "GMMATish" question or two. Why? What is the goal? Attraction, herd health, antler growth? When I put out a supplement I look at the protein content. Is this wrong? My goal is to improve, not to attract. Learn me.:deer:

    Attraction is good, but I don't leave stuff out all year as that would be baiting and illegal here in PA, so I stick to blocks. Mainly Antler King's Protein block and a generic that is very close to AK's Protein Block.
