Net Weight: 10 lb
Coverage: Approximately 1/4 Acre
Primary Season: Fall through Winter
Primary Purpose: Diversified cool-season forage for bucks, does, and fawns

North Country Herd Builder is the flagship cool-season Northern Region blend from Ridge Haven Blinds. It is built for land managers who want a dependable destination plot that carries meaningful forage from early fall through the colder part of the season. The formula uses three cereal grains for rapid establishment and cold-season staying power, a clover component for added forage diversity, and two brassicas that become increasingly valuable as the season advances.

Ingredients

• Winter Rye
• Blazer Oats
• Triticale
• Crimson Clover
• Purple Top Turnips
• Eco-till Radish

Why This Blend Is Different

North Country Herd Builder is designed as a true northern fall-to-winter system. Winter rye, oats, and triticale form the backbone of the plot, while crimson clover adds legume forage and turnips and radish provide late-season brassica diversity. It is not a spring blend and it is not a single-purpose kill plot—it is the broad whole-herd destination blend of the Northern lineup.

Why Choose It

Choose North Country Herd Builder when you want one primary northern food plot for the entire herd as fall transitions into winter, with multiple forage categories available as deer preferences and weather conditions change.
