Feeding Deer

Deers are a type of European and Asian hoofed mammal (family Cervidae, suborder Ruminantia) that live in deciduous or mixed-wood forests. Some owners of private woodlands feed deer with mash, apples and most commonly red clover. As you stroll through rows 5 & 6 as well as 7 & 8, you may be lucky enough to come across some deer... and even feed them! Don't forget to bring chopped apples and carrots - they love them!
