The subject comes up here from time to time and I'm not a fan of deer farming/breeding. It's big business here in many parts of TX. I saw this thread on another site and thought some here might be interested to see part of the industry. It's basically the deer version of stud horses, and there's some studs in the pictures. Consider how young the bucks are to have such large headgear.
I have seen a facility on a large TX ranch where whitetail does are bred either naturally in captivity by one of these breeder bucks or more commonly by a veterinarian doing artificial insemination with semen from a breeder buck. I guess the hosts were trying to impress us by showing us the facility, but I was completely turned off by how unnatural it all is. All this for really big antlers. Kind of sad, when you think about it.
