Deer Farmer

Anthony

I'm looking at starting a deer farm in Texas and i have tons of questions, that this site has helped with. I have learned that there is a lot of regulations regarding farming whitetails. Are there regulations for Axis, Red deer, or Elk? and which has a better market? Any help would be great thanks in advance

I will send you a PM, I have a good friend in TX who would gladly talk your ear off with advice! He is a good contact if you need animals too.

Red deer and Elk are regulated by TAHC in Texas. Axis and black buck do not h ave the same requirement. Look on Texas Animal Health Commission's website.

I've got a small axis farm near Fort Worth. Axis are livestock in Texas. Way less regulations than whitetail. Lots to learn about axis farming before you start. Tons of fun, the best eating, and not hard to sell.
