– Frosty Berseem Clover – draws deer to your plot as well as, if not better, than any clover on the market; excellent palatability; high protein food source with impressive feed value
– Advantage Ladino Clover – remains in vegetative state during whitetail deer antler growth; high crude protein content with large, succulent leaves; early vigor and hardiness; bred under grazing pressure
– Stamina White Clover – long-lasting, high-yielding clover; new intermediate-type selected for higher forage yield and persistence under extreme grazing pressure; high stolon density and rooting, resulting in great persistence

Like many deer plot mixes, the exclusion cages really tell the story. This mix provides tons of highly palatable forage, as shown by the massive amount of forage inside the cage and the well-eaten forage on the outside.
