Friday’s topics

• Create a business plan

• Marketing your deer & products

• Develop a breeding plan

• Record keeping

• Proper fencing techniques & handling facility designs

• Feed & nutrition

• Fawn care & bottle feeding



Saturday’s topics

• Herd health

• Chemical immobilization & dart gun target practice

• How to handle deer through a working facility

• How to artificially inseminate your own deer

• Proper semen handling

It would be nice if they listed who the speakers were going to be on the various topics. I'm guessing someone from ADM feed on nutrition and one of our vets on the semen handling etc.
