FALLOW DEER The Fallow Deer is a
native European deer. They have been farmed for almost 2000 years in
Europe. We have breeding stock for sale and we also raise the deer for venison. Venison is lower in fat and cholesterol than pork or beef. Fallow deer have long been sought after for their massive antlers, their beautiful spotted coats, and their tasty venison.
The bucks have large palmated antlers. "John’s" antlers
are in
the velvet stage in this picture. Yearling bucks only grow ‘spikes’ the
first year. Does do not have antlers. The buck’s antlers are shed each
spring and another larger set grows back again before fall. |

| Some of our does. If they are born with spots, they keep the spots for their entire life. | The babies (fawns) are born in June. The fawns are tiny weighing between 8 and 10 pounds. |

* Fallow Deer bucks and does are available For Sale. |
