I have been feeding it since Purina changed it 's recipe. They love it ! The real proof is in the pudding. If you want to see proof of its results ,come to the Whitetails of Louisiana convention on April 30th! I will have a booth. You are always welcome to tour our farm as well! Thanks Jason Savage. DEER CREEK WHITETAILS LLC. PS- We also feed free choice bale alfalfa!
La. Bone Collector, share some pictures!!
Also, I've never heard of Chaffhaye until now. I looked it up but can't find a price. What does this stuff cost??

We are selling right now on special $12.50 per bale, need 6 pallets (240 Bales) to deliver to location unless you are in PA and can pick up, normal price is $14.50 per bale. Call me as this special runs out 4/30/11
What's the "opened bag life" of this stuff? I've read deer won't eat as much in weight of this stuff as they will baled alfalfa or pelletted feed? This true, or do they still eat 2-3% of their body weight of it?

Spot on Robert!
I can kinda speak for this scenario. Some of you know i have not had much good things to say about the stuff. I tried it and deer didn't like it at all. That was my story.
I just recently picked it up to give it one last go at it before i wrote it off completely. They are eating it like crazy!!! So why the sudden take to it now and not then? My only logic is last time i tried it was in the middle of summer when our deer weren't only on sweet feed but had food plots and other various things nature provides. It was competing against the other forage i had established in the pens. Now that the plots have not come up yet they took to it like a pig to mud. So i will continue to use it in early spring before the plots come up and pick back up in the winter months when forage is limited from here on out.
Sorry Chaffhaye for judging you unfairly.LOL
I put out 50 lbs at a time and mine eat it ALL! Usually takes them three days to eat it but they eat all of it, no waste.

Great testimony Matthew, when you are ready for more call me, I am a dealer for Chaffhaye as you know.
Robert i hope to see you get down this way when the weather warms up. You are always welcomed here and you know how us young guys are always into something. Jake is growing out thick this year and has dropped the earliest he has ever so we will see what he turns out to be. Great animal ( big Baby ) meets you at the bottom of the drive like a dog wagging his tail. LOL
Henry I will be calling you! As you know I took Jen to the sale and she came home with 8 bags. Not sure if she got them from you are not. She is the one who pushed me to give it another try. I wasn't going to waist my money as you know from talking about this stuff with you before. So she went against my call and got it and thought she was going to feed it with out me knowing. Little did she know that she needed help loading the stuff.LOL
We will be getting more in the future.

Robert you nailed it. Our deer were slow to start but now they love it. We also keep it dry by feeding it in a tub under a roof. We have found that if we feed about 1/3 bale a day to our does they eat it all with zero waste. This is now the only hay we feed. Just a great product.
I will buy a couple bags to try, I have only five does I will try putting it in a freezer so it last longer until my deer start eating it.
