Unleash the genetic potential of your deer by giving them the feed they need. Do you have enough silage to get your hinds through the winter? Is there enough saved pasture for your stags after button drop? How much feed do you need to get young stags to target slaughter weights in spring? These tools will help plan your feed programme, monitor growth and compare costs and answer these questions.
Venison growth curves
Many deer farmers find it helpful to set targets for the growth rate of their finishing animals and replacement hinds. Monitoring growth rates against these targets lets them know if they are on track, or if a change is needed in the management of the animals.
