AHOW TO SAFELY HAUL WHITETAIL DEER
By: Gail Veley • Sponsored by The Indiana Deer and Elk Farmers Association
professional deer hauler hopes for a few very important scenarios when they pull their rig into a farm. This includes adequate room to get the truck and trailer turned around and aligned or situated safely in the loading area, along with dry ground conducive for the occasion. “Everyone gets a little nervous when you’re loading deer,” said Delvy Workman of Deer Works, a professional deer hauling company out of Ashland, Ohio. “A lot of people don’t think about loading or unloading deer when they set their place up. This is a really crucial thing to figure out.” Having hauled deer for 14 years, Workman hopes for the most efficient process possible.
Ensuring a safer loading experience begins first with allowing your deer to walk into and through your handling facility on a regular basis, said Dave Schwartz of Shallow Pond Whitetails in Shipshewana, Indiana. “Once we wean our fawns, we move them into a corral pen that’s attached to the handling facility and utilize that to get them used to it,” he said. “That way we can get them into there in a short amount of time when we need to.” By also working deer at random times and moving them into dark
‘pre-loading’ rooms, it can eliminate or greatly reduce the amount of stress put upon deer. “We can sell a doe and within five minutes live load her onto a trailer,” said Schwartz, who prefers to load deer into trailers specifically designed for deer (not a makeshift horse trailer) and to use a reputable, reliable hauler. “There are good deer haulers out there with specialized cargo trailers with great air flow and air conditioning and adequate room for bucks or does,” Schwartz emphasized. “Trailers set up for deer hauling are way better and are going to minimize the stress from the entire moving process. It’s important to keep the stress as low as possible. If you are sedating and loading bucks, make sure they are up and on their feet before moving the trailer.”
Verlin Yoder, a veteran of the deer industry since 1999 and owner of Clay Kuntry Whitetails in Millersburg, Indiana, remembers the days when deer farmers used 2 x 4-foot individualized wooden boxes for hauling deer. This often involved a ‘deer rodeo’ in an effort to get them sedated with telazol and/or rompun, and then inside the box. “It might take four guys. Sometimes you’d have to wrestle the deer down for
sedation,” Yoder recalled. “You’d reverse them inside the box and then they’d jump around inside of it. And we always seemed to have some sort of surprise.” A great sense of relief overcame Yoder when he was able to attain his own handling facility and loading chute in 2006. “It’s one of the best investments a deer farmer can make,” he said. “You need to haul deer for all sorts of reasons. Breeding season. Hunting season. Sales. Boarding.” Boarding does for the sake of breeding requires careful timing, as you don’t want to bring them back too soon or too late in their pregnancy, for fear or losing the offspring due to hauling stress.
Depending on the distance, longer hauling trips, such as up to eight to 10 hours, may require the hauler to put straw bedding down for comfort and to also include hay and water. And last but not least, the most important advice might be “give yourself plenty of time,” Yoder said. “Haul at night when it’s cool and the deer are naturally calmer. Keep the trailer dark and peaceful and wellventilated. You are hauling some very precious cargo and want everyone to arrive safely.”
“You need to haul deer for all sorts of reasons. Breeding season. Hunting season. Sales. Boarding.”
PREPARING YOUR CERVID HERD FOR THE WINTER
By: Gail Veley • Sponsored by the North Dakota Deer Ranchers Association
There were ice cycles hanging from the eyelashes of Mike Elsberry on a recent December morning as he tended to his mule deer at Dakota Muleys in Emerado, North Dakota. The thermometer read 17 below zero. “Oh, it wasn’t that bad.” Elsberry said. “It’s the wind that makes it really bad. I never look at the windchill.”
Emerado, located right along the northeast border of North Dakota, is one of the coldest places in the U.S. during the winter and is home to Mike’s beloved 12-acre deer farm. North Dakota, named after the Dakota Sioux Indians, is a land amassed of great plains, badland, prairies, farmland and savannas. In the state whose nickname is the “Peace Garden State,” you need the ability to embrace winter as many days never get above zero.
While whitetails can thrive incredibly well in colder temperatures and seem as well to embrace it, Mike has put into practice a few measures in the five years he’s operated his farm, to make winter an easier time for his herd. In a place where the one of the coldest days on record was -56 degrees in 1906, Mike, 41, studied his land prior to putting up threesided shelters. “Our dominant wind is northwest,” he said. “Our pens are open to the south where the sun hits them and warms them up.”
While he believes shelters are necessary for his deer for the windbreak they provide, Mike also feels that deer who live in colder climates should have trees in their pens. “They will step under the
shelter, but they also prefer to lean up against trees for protection,” he said. “That’s what they would do naturally in the wild.” Along with shelters in colder climates, should be a sturdy fence that can withstand heavy winds and large snow drifts. “I know it cost me a little extra, but I put up ten-foot fences around my deer pens. You don’t want snow drifts that are so high the deer can get out. We almost thought it was going to happen one year,” Mike said, reflecting on a time when the snow drifts were nine and a half feet tall. Making the rounds on his 4066R John Deere tractor to clear and blow snow is a regular occurrence for him throughout the winter.
However, preparing your herd nutritionally for winter is perhaps above all the most important thing, and that begins during the summer months. “Deer naturally and instinctively will eat less during the winter, so they need to build up reserves beforehand,” he explained. “We feed vitamins and minerals year-round but put up more alfalfa in the fall. We also prepare big mesh bags of dried leaves in the fall and store them inside the barn.
During the winter we empty them into the deer’s feed bunk. They love it. You’d think it was the best treat they’ve ever had. We also include a grain mixture year-round of corn, roasted soybeans and sunflowers. I’m told sunflower seeds are a natural dewormer.”
Parasites, which can cause so many problems for deer farmers, are non-existent during North Dakota winters. “I never worry about losing a deer in the winter the way I do during other times of the year,” Mike said. And while Mike is diligent about maintaining a steady supply of drinkable water with Nelson heated water troughs sustained by an electrical system and water lines placed eight feet below the ground, he knows deer will eat snow if need be. “They will also take refuge in snowbanks and use them for windbreaks, in addition to shelters and trees,” he added. “We’ve basically got winter here down to a science. With a few pro-active measures in place, any deer farmer could get the hang of it. There’s room here for more industrious deer farmers and beautiful land for raising cervids.”
Breeder Buck 2025 Showcase Magazine is here!
Just in time for semen sales, getting ready for breeding season!
We created this magazine in order for 2025 Breeder and Hunting Preserve advertisers to showcase their most recent photos of their bucks close to the last days of antler growth. We realize establishing a collective deadline for all states Fall magazines to publish on the same date to obtain last-minute photos would be impossible to achieve. With this magazine, advertisers have one more chance to showcase their bucks.
~ Thank you to all that participated!

Rocky Ridge Whitetails would like to introduce “Mega Star,” a 2025 yearling they are super excited to breed with. Rocky Ridge sold a half interest in the Choice Yearling off the farm at this year’s Northern Top 30. “Thank you” to Samuel King at Rocky Top Whitetails, for purchasing the Choice Yearling off the farm. Samuel picked Mega Star a few weeks before the deadline and before he was completely finished growing, which wasn’t a hard choice at all since Mega Star is a very rare yearling with a GEBV of -0.296, codon 96 SS, great frame and a loaded and stacked pedigree (with triple Heather on the bottom side.) His sire is the famous “Champion” from Lone Hollow. Champion has most likely been the hottest buck in Texas the last couple years, sporting a GEBV -0.342 and codon 96 SS with typical style antlers.
ROCKY RIDGE WHITETAILS
INTRODUCING “MEGA
STAR”
John Ervin Stoltzfus is hoping to get a successful semen collection from Mega Star in October and if so, plans to give back to the buyers by having a contest for all the semen that is used in 2025. The top three 2026 Mega Star fawns that are DNA certified and GEBV tested by September 1, 2026, with the best GEBV’s, will be the winners. The First Place winner will be required to be a codon 96 SS deer, but second and third place do not. The winners must have their GEBV’s turned on by August 31st, 2026, with NADR to be eligible to win. The First Place winner will receive $5,000 cash. The Second Place winner will receive a $4,000 farm credit for Rocky Ridge Whitetails semen in 2026. Third Place winner will receive a $3,000 farm credit for Rocky Ridge semen in 2026. Rocky Ridge Whitetails is well known for attention to detail and improvement at the highest levels possible. Whether it pertains to genetics, pedigrees, antlers, the largest mainframes, largest typicals,
largest nontypicals, longest beams, longest tines, width, body size, herd health (and now codon 96 SS markers and the lowest GEBV scores for healthy CWD resistant deer) John Ervin pays astute attention to all of these things. Rocky Ridge Whitetails has received more than 100 awards from the DBC Golden Buck and NADeFA antler scoring contests. The First Place typical and First Place nontypical harvested in the SCI record books were also bred and born at Rocky Ridge Whitetails.
John Ervin started deer farming at 12 years old with his father and has seen some very exciting times in his 28 years of deer farming. Now with his wife Mary Ann, along with their family of six children (four boys and two girls with the oldest being 13 years old) want them to have the same opportunity he has had growing up on a deer farm. The most exciting times were when borders were open to most states, and you could sell and move deer easily. It was unlike anything we had ever seen before, with an auction room full of over 1,000 deer farmers looking to improve their genetics and with it, the ability to buy from virtually any breeder. Now, sadly due to CWD, many states closed their borders and today we are extremely limited in whom we can buy or sell deer to, as many states do not allow you to bring in an out-of-state deer if within 15 miles of a CWD positive.
For many years it seemed impossible to alleviate regulations without scientific research pointing to eradicating CWD. Thanks to Dr. Seabury, his scientific research has
greatly aided us in this quest. As our state and national leaders work hard to educate our legislators as to what deer farmers are doing to lower the risk of spreading CWD, we are finally seeing some positive light. This includes Oklahoma passing a bill to release CWD resistant deer into the wild in 2026. We are also hopeful more states will follow Oklahoma and also hopeful in the near future we can move CWD resistant deer to currently none deer farming states, close boarder states, and move resistant deer from farms that are within 15 or 30 miles from a CWD positive. This could make deer farming great again!
John Ervin’s ultimate suggestion is to have good healthy discussions with your very own Department of AG, along with senators and regulators on what makes sense in improving regulations, while acknowledging the latest scientific research that points to lowering the risk of contracting CWD. The faster we get there, the better for all of us. The faster that resistant herds get established within our industry along with more and more proof that breeding for resistance is working, the better chance we have to get our anti deer farming wildlife
agencies on our side and pave the way for new deer farming states to open up and flourish.
John Ervin is optimistic about Pennsylvania’s deer farming future and has just started his third farm in Lancaster County, with no traceback connections from his other two farms (using all embryo’s at the most recently established farm and all 2025 fawns with codon 96 SS along with one was a HS -0.38.)
John Ervin feels he has been blessed with all of the 2025 doe fawns GEBV results have come back as -0.30 or better at the new farm. John Ervin is trying not to have his eggs or deer all in one basket or farm, so if a quarantine would happen on one farm, the other farms can still move deer. Remember, let’s not forget to use the Golden Rule and work together for the best of our industry!! And give God the glory for
the
Rocky

SPREADING A POSITIVE DEER FARMING MESSAGE: PROMOTING AN INDUSTRY UNDERSTANDING
By: Gail Veley • Sponsored by the Pennsylvania Deer Farmers Association
“Every time we put a fence around land, we are preserving it for future generations.” This sentiment spoken by Red Ridge Whitetails Owner Josh Newton, echoes perhaps the most important reason to understand and support hunting and a deer farmer’s role in it. Deer farmers (a majority of which are hunters) promote land conservation, environmental stewardship, economic and community benefits, job creation as well as local establishment patronage.
“The trophy status sport of hunting also provides the economic means to sustain land in its natural state,” Newton explained. “Numerous other species propagate as well inside a preserve including turkeys, pheasants, grouse, songbirds, ground rodents, bear, coyote and the list goes on and on.” Reflecting the North American Wildlife Model, a framework that guides wildlife management and conservation, hunting preserves uphold the very practice of science-based management while ensuring the long-term viability of vast and expansive wildlife populations.
Given that close to 900,000 hunting licenses are sold annually in the state of Pennsylvania alone, the national economic impact of hunting is, putting it simply, impressive. And when taking into consideration the genetic improvements included in breeding decisions, deer farmers themselves are working to eradicate disease such as CWD, an everlooming concern in wild and farmed populations. “Look at the work being done in Oklahoma integrating deer farms and creating structured programs for improvement and reintroduction of genetics. Hunters drive that,” Newton said. Through improving farmed genetics and ultimately improved genetics in wild populations, the agencies that support these types of programs are the winners, he emphasized.
As these messages are spread through concise communication and outreach advocacy, public perception could start to shift in a more positive and sustained direction. “Before you take a side, understand both sides,” said Micheal Goodman of Goodman’s Piebald Haven in New Stanton, Pennsylvania.
“If someone from the general public wants to see my deer, just knock on my front door and ask. I’d be happy to show you.” Along with transparency “we as a group should stop saying shooter bucks,” shared Chase Baker of Baker Whitetails in Junction, Illinois. “We need to stress that in hunting preserves deer are not quick bait in confined spaces. In an industry that is so over-looked for the good work we are doing and so over-regulated, this is very important.”
Thoroughly understanding the role of genetics in conservation is another vitally important message to promote to a concerned public. “Most people who have studied GEBV’s have some level of excitement about our controlled breeding programs,” Newton said. “Those outside the industry have looked at this and at our genetic progress which continues to be a focal point nationally. Ultimately if this continues, we will be able to provide a genetic reservoir for wild populations that allow healthy biodiversity to come full-circle and remain that way.”
QUALIFYING FOR A CONSIGNMENT SALE WHAT EVERY DEER FARMER SHOULD KNOW
By: Gail Veley • Sponsored by IDEFA
Building your farm name through consignment sale participation is one of the smartest moves a deer farmer can make, offers Chris Ezell, co-owner of Whitetail Sales Auction LLC based out of Urich, Missouri. Although some consignment sales such as Top 30 (North and South) may be more exclusive and feature only the country’s top 30 breeders for that particular area, others such as Chupp auctions and NADeFA’s annual consignment auction offer opportunities for quality livestock or valuable and useful items to be featured and sold from a wider pool of consigners.
As with every auction, programs are distributed describing each auction lot. “What deer farmers need to realize is what a great advertising opportunity it is to be in the program,” said Kristy Schwartz, President of Whitetail Marketing Inc., and Graphics/Catalog Designer for Whitetail Sales Auction LLC.
“Even if you aren’t participating as a consignor, you can still advertise. Placing an ad allows people to identify with your brand. Coming to the auctions also allows you to gain insight and guidance from others and make goals for your future. It also helps your state.”
Since the early 2000’s, Schwartz, 39, has been at the forefront of
creating auction programs and working hand-in-hand with each consignor to make sure every detail is correct. Dates, times and places for every annual deer auction (as well as all advertising deadlines) can be found by visiting https://www. whitetailsalesauctionllc.com.
Perhaps it could be seen as every deer farmer’s dream to be among the 30 breeders chosen for the Top 30 North or South auction, and to enjoy the prestige that goes along with that. “It all depends on the genetics you have on your farm,” Ezell said. “It might be tougher for a new farmer to initially get in, but possible after some dedication and hard work. It’s a great goal to shoot for.”
The Chupp Auction, always held in Shipshewana, Indiana, generally features consignors from Indiana and closer surrounding areas. Ensuring that the quality of each auction lot falls within certain accepted parameters is in the hands of Ezell and Lester Eicher, who with Ezell, are at the helm of Whitetail Sales Auction LLC. Along with the Chupp Auction is a guaranteed good time with catered food, the unmatched hospitality of the Amish and the charm and culture of Shipshewana itself, a city with an Amish population of close to 90 percent. “If you haven’t been to this auction, you definitely need
to come,” Ezell said.
The NADeFA auction, always held during the annual spring NADeFA convention, offers a chance to bring a wider variety of auction lots and showcase your best animal or most useful or well-crafted item such as a picnic bench (or even a magazine advertisement and article in your own quarterly deer association magazine.) NADeFA, which always draws a sizable and vast crowd from every state that raises deer, also offers a unique and interesting trade show as well as educational classes and the chance to mingle with some of the best producers in the deer industry.
A percentage of profits from auctions often end up being donated to a worthy cause such as nonprofit organizations that support hunting and conservation, various deer associations and even individuals within the deer industry in need of additional support for personal reasons. “The deer industry is full of generous people willing to help others,” Ezell said. “Every deer farmer should make an effort to be a part of these auctions.” Interested auction attendees or participants should contact Ezell or Eicher if they have questions or need more information about deadlines.

• 4–5 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Tbsp. chili powder
• 1 Tbsp. cumin
• 1 tsp. paprika
• ½ tsp. cinnamon (optional)
• 1 and ½ tsp. salt
• ½ tsp. pepper
• 3 Tbsp. tomato paste
• 1 tsp. Worchestershire sauce
• 1 orange, juiced
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 and 1/2 cups venison or beef stock*
• 28 oz. diced tomatoes, drained
• 15 oz. black beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 oz. kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Instructions
Venison Chili
1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add the onion and peppers and cook until the onions start to brown on the edges, about 5-7 minutes. Then, add the venison and brown.
3. Once the venison is browned add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Saute for 1-2 minutes and then add the tomato paste. Cook for an additional minute, incorporating the tomato paste.
4. Then, deglaze the pot with Worchestershire sauce, orange juice, and lime juice. Scrape the bottom of the pot and add the stock, tomatoes, and beans.
5. Stir well and bring the chili to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover partially with a lid and let the pot simmer for at least 30 minutes but up to all day. If you’re cooking longer than an hour, be sure to cover the chili fully with a lid so all of the liquid doesn’t evaporate.
6. Ladle up generous portions, top with your favorite chili toppings, and serve.
