Highbourne Deer Farms
is a red deer breeding operation that began in 1990, with imported deer
from New Zealand. In 1992, a second bloodline of Scottish deer were
added. In 1996 and 1997 German deer embryos were transferred into
the farm's New Zealand females. The 3 major lineages create a herd
diversity with an excellent selection of quality breeding stock.
The red deer, whose scientific name is Cervus el hus, are technically the
same species as native North American elk (wapiti). However, red
deer come from outside North America, and exhibit many differences as a
subspecies. Among the more important differences are a better temperament
for handling and superb venison.

Health Maintenance Program
Pasture,
Hay and Grain Fed
Our livestock are kept in prime condition.
Since 1992,
Highbourne Deer Farms has
maintained a "closed" herd that is routinely vaccinated and treated,
resulting in a very healthy herd. The deer subsist on pasture during
the warm months and are supplemented with quality hay and grain, consisting
of corn, oats or barley, soy meal, and vitamins and minerals throughout
the year.
Highbourne is an active
member of the North American Deer Farmers Association.
