T-Raptor forage brassaca is a cross between forage turnips and forage rape. 40-55 day maturity. Pasja forage brassaca is another hybrid and is another good one. 50-60 day maturity. I am paying a lot more attention to short maturity with my brassaca mix because of the dry early falls we are getting.

I would like to try sugar beets. I really like the idea of late-season food for deer. I think it's important to get them into good condition after the rut and into the worst part of winter. I've been feeding some deer for a couple months, and they are looking great. The does seem to go after the corn more, and the bucks are really hitting the soybeans. I sprinkle goat mineral into the food I mix up and use molasses to stick it to the grain. It would be nice to have food just growing there so I don't have to feed them. This is my first time trying that. They're nibbling at the brassicas, but not really utilizing them as much as I hoped. I think they might like sugar beets more.
