The purchase of the new site of the Fallow Deer Reserve was completed on January 17, 2007.
Max was happy to hear the news and to g
et a sneak preview (via photo) of the herd's new home. Our 13 bucks will take up permanent residence here in June, after a 10+ acre fence is installed and as soon as each has lost his antlers and before velveting begins. The colder weather has the herd eating hay now in addition to apples, corn and carrots. Recently we tried them on pumpkin which some of them enjoyed, too.
There is much planning and work to be done but we are happy to report that this major hurdle has been crossed and duly celebrated by the deerkeepers!
