This weekend we had some farm visitors. It was not their intentions on visiting a deer farm it was their fate and it just happened.
First was a pair of guys from Michigan looking for a place to hunt. I was not here but Tina was and she showed them our deer. The two of them did not know anything about deer farming. They asked Tina a lot of questions they were surprised about everything she told them from breeding to selling the bucks when that time comes. They did not have a clue about preserves or anything of the like.
The second group of two guys were up from North Carolina. They to were looking for a place to hunt. Something about Ohio bucks everyone wants one. Anyways I was here to welcome these two. I invited them to come see our deer. They were amazed with the deer they actually loved going in and playing with our girls. They to asked a lot of questions. I showed them our only buck a two year old and they thought he was a 3 or 4 year old typ. They were surprised when I told them he was only 2. So that led into the next question what are you feeding him. So I showed them our textured feed. They said that is nothing different than cattle feed with a few beans in it.
We showed them how the genetics of the deer are used in our breeding program. They were so appreciative and gave us 1 of their 20 lb bag full of acorns for us to share with the deer. After the visit was over we took them around to a few farms and found them a place they can periodically come up to hunt.
When they left they said they had friends for life.
The world has to be educated. Not everyone travels to the shot shows, or conventions. Not everyone has cable TV. Everyone does get gas and in those gas stations are magazine racks. Possibly a national deer farmers & preserve magazine needs to be produced. We can give the reader the same information as those other magazines try to offer.
Sorry so wordy just wanted to get this out.
