News From The Farm
The younger deer are wondering when we are going to get the snow and ice they experienced last year.
The mild weather means they have not had to shut down into their period of inappetence, a phenomenon of all wild deer when their body clock knows there is little nutritious food about and they derive much of their needs from stored body fat. Normally this lasts through January and February.
Luckily we have some excellent silage which they are enjoying.
The calves have been weaned off their mothers into sheltered accommodation away from the ravages of the rut and are getting an added energy boost from a little rolled barley and minerals.
This hand feeding regime is the secret of successful deer farming. It bonds the young deer to their keeper, Terry, and removes any element of stress when he walks into the field or shed. Later in the years to come his characteristic whistle will bring them running to see what titbit he has for them. Usually a banana or a sprout of hawthorn.
