Put some out now to get them through winter, but save some for april and may for horn development. You will be getting about 1 1/2 tons on that trailer.

Possibly could check with Danevang Farmers Coop south of El Campo as well. I have some pics of an easy to build feeder that a friend of mine uses for cottonseed. The pics will speak for themselves as to effectiveness. He has been feeding it for 3 years to free ranging deer in Brazoria and Matagorda counties and loves the results. We are planning to start feeding it on our lease in the hill country this year. If anyone wants to see pics, email me at txsaggie94@windstream.net with cottonseed feeder in the subject line.

If you decide to try this there are a few things to keep in mind. When building a feeder, it must be open on all sides and only be about 32 inches off the ground. The other thing is to mix it with a little corn and other proteins to get them to start using it. Gradually reduce the corn and/or protein pellets until you are feeding just pure cottonseed. We are seeing good results on our ranch and folks around us that are doing the same are seeing them as well. I have been feeding cottonseed the past two years.

I can't seem to find it in anything but bulk in Taylor. Thanks Jay, I’m just down the road from there. I can’t seem to find it in anything but bulk in Taylor.
