Yes, they are still available. I planted some BFO's 10 days ago and they are germinated and approximately 2-3" tall. I think that if you get them in quick they will come on. The ground temps are still warm enough. send me a pm
Our buck forage oats have flourished. The deer are still hammering them. On a 20 acre plot there where 62 (roughly I got that count thrice so that’s my guess) does yearlings and younger bucks the other evening. Plus two shooter bucks we did not have on camera. Our population has swelled since the opening weekend of rifle season and they seem content. So content that several neighbors have been asking what we’re doing and if we are seeing many deer because they are not. The deer still move across the wheat to the bfo’s so well in fact we turned a small set of replacement heifers in on some wheat adjacent to the oats. The deer are keeping the oats grazed down and the wheat was not getting utilized by them so we turned some cattle on it. The 4x4 that I mixed with some of the oats is thriving and attracting quail also. Several coveys have 6-8 one has 14 birds. I’ll post more pictures later this week. The frosts haven’t knocked the oats back as hard as I’d feared.

Thanks for the BFO report 7stw!
I have definitely got to get me some of that for next Fall.

It is my understanding that the BFO’s can be planted as far north as South Dakota without freezing out. I have yet to have any concerns with the oats. I was so impressed with the results of using the oats over the last4-5 years that I was appointed as a dealer. My 4x4 mix and my Seeet 16 mix are blends that I have tested on my own properties to be sure they would perform as I expected. I will address the high sandy plateau country of NW Oklahoma with a mix this Spring. This is a special request from a customer.

Reminder of how rain helps the winter forage.I have more pics. The oats are doing phenomenal. 4x4 blend is doing good as well.
The yearling doe is eating with 12 other does fawns and yearlings. I’m almost a mile away. Great tonnage I have a few bigger plots some smaller ones and plan on doubling my order for next year. I planted 40 bags this year. And 60 lbs of the 4x4 blend. The deer love the plantain and getting an awesome stand of clover out of the blend. The deer still walk across wheat without stopping to browse until they reach the buck forage oats. Saw an increase in population after last weekends youth season on properties near where the neighbors have been hunting.
