I'm in my third year of managing a herd, so I do not know near as much as a lot of people. That being said, here in Alabama (closed border state) there are new deer farms popping up everywhere. The biggest hurt to our market are the few bigger farms in the state. They pretty much just trade deer between themselves and just say a price. An astronomically high price. All that does is makes their herds look "better". In my first few years I have come to find out that most of the small farmers raise better quality deer. Overall if you don't screw anybody in the business you will be fine. Be honest with people about genetics and don't try to sell something you don't have. Also, find the oldest deer farmer in your state and talk to them about deer for as long as they can talk.
