[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 146202, member: 843"] Yeah sorry it got sidetracked. If you are looking to purchase alfalfa bales try to stay away from the first cutting. The protein and nutritional content is less than what would be found in the second cutting. So while the deer might be eating a first cutting bale and obviously better than nothing. A second cutting bale will provide more nutrients. Oats is also another feed that comes up a lot as a top feed for the winter. Soybeans will provide a protein source that might be needed if the main diet has been corn which is lacking in proteins. The article below has some good information, however might not be able to be applied in most of ND due to lack of trees. However if you have access to a stand of trees or woody browse you could figure out ways to gets that food into the reach of deer.
