Today we travel to Northeast TX to CC Bar Whitetails. Tthis massive operation and Hank Corbell and his family have built the largest herd of whitetails that are scientifically shown to have increased resistance to CWD. Currently, Hank is years ahead of any deer farmer we know of regarding his entire herd having these special genetic markers and incredible GEBV scores.

How do I get started Deer Farming?
The best advice I can give is to watch all our TV shows and learn how other deer farmers operate their farms. Then, contact your state deer farm association and ask to see if they provide any kind of tutoring or educational opportunities. Also, attend deer farming conventions and meet local deer farmers. Finally, I’d suggest visiting as many farms as possible.
What's the best advice Keith has for new Deer Farmers?
Visit as many deer farms as possible and develop a business plan.
What is the North American Deer Registry?
The North American Deer Registry is what I like to refer to as “the holy grail of deer farming”. It has literally hundreds of thousands of animals listed that will provide the breeder with valuable information to assist in breeding, purchasing and selling deer.
How much property do I need to start a deer farm?
Normally the smallest deer pen I like to see if a half acre. Most are an acre in size. So you don’t need a lot of land to build deer pens. Make sure and take into consideration neighbors as deer tend to be high strung and the fewer close by neighbors the better. It’s also advisable to have shade available as well as lots of fresh water that is provided in water throughs.
How do I breed for consistency?
Breeding for consistency is done by choosing proven sires and dams that throw offspring you are seeking to produce.
What is Artificial Insemination and what is the success rate?
Artificial Insemination or what we call in the industry “AI” is a method used to impregnate deer with specific semen so that parentage and offspring can be predetermined.
Why partner on a deer?
There are many reasons to partner of deer but the biggest reason is to lessen the cost to obtain ownership, albeit partial ownership. Partnerships are becoming more commonplace in the deer industry.
What is the best deer feed and feeding schedule?
I’ve fed Record Rack deer feed for over twenty years and have done so because the science that goes into it. Literally, the scientists at Record Rack continue to push the envelope with research and the results are incredible. Most successful deer breeders feed their deer free choice out of some kind of trough feeder so that they are able to monitor consumption on a daily basis. This allows them to be able to determine if there may be health issues with their herd as reduced consumption may indicate some kind of problem.
What are the deer organizations to join and why?
NADeFA is the North American Deer Farmers Association and their purpose is to represent the deer industry and its members on a national level.
The Texas Deer Association (TDA) is at the forefront of protecting and supporting deer breeders in Texas.
The DBC (Deer Breeders Corporation) also works to represent deer breeders noaas well as support scientific research on whitetail deer.

4 minutes in and I suppose the entire issue can be summed up to: Officials being too vague, yet again, and talking too much about dangers while not talking enough about reassuring things, yet again. If the animals live in captivity and are not released into the wild and re-captured or have pastures other deer with the problem could just wander on and infect the healthy ones, there shouldn't be a problem. Right? Thinking otherwise could be applied to ALL lifestock, no? There is a similar disease for cows, yet nobody is being foolish there. And I'm sure there is wild issues that could be connected to domestic pigs, birds, sheep, etc. too. Not sure if this should be counted as spreading misinformation but they REALLY need to do a better job at not only talking about the negatives. That's VERY important with these kinda things.

@Manageable_Mayhem are they downplaying prions ?

@@gferraro8353 Not sure. If anything, it seems like they just did not emphazise that not the entirety of deers is infected/at risk since not all deer, especially captive kept ones!, are at risk for it. What they wrote in those texts sounded like they want people to believe ANY deer can have it. Which explains why they target deer breeders. It's fine testing different herds and making sure to get rid of illnesses, but randomly picking out breeders and targetting them isn't the way to go. That's like going to your neighbor and saying their dog has rabies. Sure, it could, but we should CHECK before saying all animals in the house need to be destroyed.
