Hunters Tea 2013 Antler Growth - Live fawn / semen contest!

Just wanted to share Tea's growth cycle this year. Truely amazing how far he has come since last year. Being a triplet he was a little behind last year. He is making up for it this year. If you look at photos of Texas Tea and Challenger you see the distinct features of both bucks. Tea is is a product of breeding Mass Inchs and Width all in one.



We are looking at the option of drawing semen on Tea this year. That is if we have enough committed interest to warrant a draw. It would be a shame to keep this wonderful buck all to ourselves. Semen would be sold in limited quantity and at a reasonable price.



Tea only sired 5 fawns this year, 3 does and 2 bucks. We decided to sell only 1 of the doe fawns since she was a twin. I would imagine you will see great things from her in a couple years. The bucks well lets see how they do next year.



Here is Tea as he finished 2012

Hes going to be huge,Heck he is now, Next year Jeff. You will be glad you did a draw. If you do this year...Let me know. I know where atleast 2 straws will go. Congrats Buddy!

OK here is what we have planned. We made the decision to Draw Hunters Tea this year after a few calls and emails. Yes he is DNA'd to Texas Tea so no worries there. We have it scheduled for the end of September first of October. There will be a total of 15 Straws that we will sell this year.



We will sell 15 straws at $350.00 ea, there is a limit of 2 straws per farm. Those can be split as many ways as you want. Shipping of the straws is on the buyer. To hold these straws under your farm we require a $100.00 (MO or Cert Check) deposit per straw. The rest will be paid after the draw. Payment will be recieved in full before we release the straws under your farm name. If for any reason the draw is not good we will refund you ALL your deposit money.



Now hopefully most of you have read the "Redneck Hunting Blind Giveaway" in the Vendors and Buyers Sale Barn by PharmerBrown. Sam is selling Raffle tickets so that he can take a terminally ill child on a hunt of a lifetime. Well a young man by the name of Kaiden has been chosen to go on a hunt this year. For more info please read up on the post started by Sam. For every straw sold out of the 15 Hunters Dream Whitetails will donate $50.00 in assisting Kaiden's hunt comes true.



Last lets play guess his score. We will score Tea when he is drawn. Nearest 1/8" is the winner. Winner will get his choice of 1 straw of semen or 2014 Tea fawn born on our farm. If there is a tie there will be no tie breaker. First guess gets choice second guess gets whats left. We will begin posting pictures very soon.

These games are all good and fun. If we loose what we have these games are over. So we will donate another $50.00 per straw sold directly to the Rhonda and Tom Brakke.



We have fun raising these animals along with all of you. We do not plan to get rich. Make new friends share our animals and pay the feed and other bills. So when you purchase these straws you are helping support our industry.



Thanks again for the wonderful comments Tea is a great animal on our little farm.
