Someone gave me a quart jar of molasses and I am wanting to know what to mix with it so I can yield a gallon or so. Since I'm not a molasses lover and my deer are, I figured this would be a great Thanksgiving gift for them. I have done this before cutting it with water but was curious if any other ingredients could be or should be used. I have a stump I have been pouring over for a few years now,usually the store bought "Stump Lickers" but like to give out the good stuff when I have it. Any suggestions?
Corn.
Apple cider
Shoot, man. A good quart jar of molasses should be mixed with several buttered biscuits. Whatchu talkin bout!
:thumbsup:
Tried that and the deer just left the biscuits laying there.
Did ya' heat the biscuits first?
here in the mountains we call that a buffet!
Put some vanilla in with it and add water.
Corn syrup or apple juice have both worked well for me.
Mix it with some cider and pour over some shelled corn.

I was wondering about this myself. A friend gave me a 5 gallen bucketfull. I thought about pouring it on a log with my trail camera aimed at it to see what would happen.RC
Sacralidge!!! Feeding deer molasses!!
They will smell that sulfur a mile away.I would work it in with the corn, and use it lightly and let it just coat the corn so you can have some for the next batch.
I have used it for years and add the corn and then over a mineral lick. The deer love it. :thumbsup:
Hot buttered cornbread. The deer ain't gettin' my molasses. Its good for arthritis too.
I know horses love it mixed with grain and Oats!
You could make molasses cookies and share ;) ;)
Make a wet bottom shoo fly pie! MMMMMMM~!
I buy dried molasis in the 50lb bags at the feed store for the purpose of mixing it with my homemade mineral. I mix it in an electric cement mixer that I purchased for that reason in order for the deer to get more mineral intake. Word of caution, the calcium/phos ratio should be a 2/1 mixture like you feed goats. Any feed specialist out there.
Never tried to feed them straight molasis, I always try to benifit the herd.
