In the immediate aftermath of severe weather events, help may be a long way and several days or weeks away. The best people to go to for help in those circumstances are your deer farming neighbours. Our deer farming community has a long history of farmers helping farmers.
If your neighbours can't help and you urgently need grazing behind secure deer fences, contact your local NZDFA branch or ring the DINZ office in Wellington. Contact lindsay.fung@deernz.org.nz or 027 333 6551.
