Trophy Clover Mix is a very important part of your deer management program because it can provide 30% protein all Spring and Summer to help maximize your herd’s potential…bucks, does and fawns all require high levels of protein during the “growing season” to survive and thrive. While the 4 varieties of clover and 1 variety of chicory provide high protein and important minerals for many years they aren’t the only plants offering high quality nutrition to your deer herd. The leafy greens in this special rape variety can provide 15-20% protein and as the weather turns cold it will convert it’s stored up starches into sweet high energy sugars, triggering maturity and increased consumption in the colder months.
