Our deer have come a long way since the late 70’s when wild deer were caught in live traps and relocated to paddocks for future domestication. A more dedicated approach has been utilised in the past 10 years. One mobs main focus is on velvet production, which ranges from 900-1,000 kgs a year. The balance of the hinds focus on venison production. We have purchased quality carcass stags and are seeing promising trends coming through.
