Sweet feed consist of oats, corn, and barley, salt and other minerals mixed with molasses. It smells really good and deer love it, but it cost only slightly less than pelleted rations formulated specifically for deer, which will have protein levels that are at least 16%. In addition, sweet feed can really only be fed using troughs. Sweet feed is often used for horses and mules, but whitetail deer will eat it up!

Your "supplementation" of their diets should not include a lot of bread though. If you live in an suburban area then I would avoid feeding them altogether.
