How to Buy Soybeans for Supplemental Deer Feed

A deer's health can decline in areas or at times where food sources are scarce. Deer often do not get the protein they need in these situations. Feeding deer soybeans will supplement a deer's foraging diet and provide them with a sufficient amount of protein. Adding a feeder with soybeans to your property will attract these beautiful animals.

      Use the Internet to research farms that sell wholesale soybeans to find a competitive, bulk rate. Deer prefer roasted soybeans, however raw can be used as well. One deer can eat up to one pound of soybeans a day. Buying wholesale, bulk soybeans instead of retail soybeans will lower your feed costs significantly.

      Purchase soybeans as well as a lower protein deer feed, such as dried corn or pellets, to make a comprehensive blend. Buy a total of 200 pounds of soybeans and deer feed to last you up to four months.

      Blend the soybeans with the deer feed. Use one part soybeans and two parts deer feed. Place the mixture in a deer feeder in an area of your property where deer are common. Place the deer feeder in an area that is visible from your home if you want to watch the deer. Do not place the feeder close to any doorways or places where people or animals frequent.
