D&K Design

1996 - 2026

A sedation kit for every species or procedure.

MK2™ KIT - PROPRIETARY FORMULA

The most widely used MK™ Kit on the market today. Contains a higher concentration of medetomidine and ketamine than the original MK™ formulation which provides the ability to use less medication and a smaller dart resulting in improved accuracy when capturing.

MKB™ KIT - PROPRIETARY FORMULA

MKB2™ KIT - PROPRIETARY FORMULA

Contains higher concentrations of medetomidine, ketamine and butorphanol than the MKB™ Kit, which provides the ability to use less medication and a smaller dart, resulting in improved accuracy when capturing. It’s recommended for super exotics and large cervids that may be more difficult to sedate.

KIT - PROPRIETARY FORMULA

Developed by a zoo veterinarian to allow wildlife handlers to induce a reversible sedation, the MKB™ kit offers smooth induction with faster reversal times due to the lower concentration of ketamine. It’s recommended for sedation scenarios where the procedure being performed doesn’t require the animal to be on the ground for more than 15-20 minutes. Our MKBM™ Kit builds on our MKB™ combinations by adding midazolam to provide superior muscle relaxation and more reliable sedation. It’s recommended for the chemical immobilization of numerous large exotic hoofstock species including bongo, kudu, gazelle, eland as well as other African hoofstock and certain domestic wildlife species.

Enjoyed Informative Event

A Word of Thanks from NYDEFA Member Dana Hoover

Saturday August 2nd, 2025, New York Deer and Elk Farmers Association members, friends and fellow deer farmers from Ohio and Pennsylvania gathered at MountainSide Whitetails in Penn Yan, New York for our annual summer picnic. We had a terrific time!! We enjoyed a delicious home cooked meal, homemade pies and the camaraderie of being together. In addition to welcoming new deer farmers, we enjoyed educational and informative presentations by Josh Newton of Pennsylvania, who spoke about regulations, and Dr. Beth Ann ShaneHolser from the New York Department of AG and Markets, who spoke about CWD resistance, GEBV’s as well as proper protocols for acquiring Moving Permits.

We also had a very good fundraiser in the form of a half-buck share, which is used gratefully to pay our lobbyists. We also enjoyed farm tours, networking and our antler exhibit. But perhaps the biggest focus of the picnic was to take official action on voting in new board members. With the enthusiasm here in New York for deer farming, we look forward to starting a nomination process in the future and filling board positions with eager leadershipminded individuals. Thank you, Dan Jennings, for leading this charge!

MEDGENE LABS

Looks to Unveil Prescription Platform Vaccines for Use in White-tailed Deer in 2026

Deer farmers can feel optimistic about vaccine advancement by Medgene Labs in Brookings, South Dakota. If all goes according to plan, the prescription platform for whitetailed deer will be available in 2026. This will allow Medgene to offer more than an EHD vaccine to deer farmers, specifically an option to vaccinate against some strains of bluetongue. Bluetongue, an often fatal virus closely associated with EHD, is caused by the same vector, the Culicoides midge fly. Symptoms include fever, swelling of the head, neck and tongue, lameness, a loss of the fear of humans and the desire to be near water. Although Medgene Labs has a vaccine for EHD, they felt the need to expand to a prescription platform in whitetails because a specific bluetongue vaccine was just as necessary, said Medgene Labs Immunological Services (I.S.) Prime Director Ashley Petersen. “While bluetongue is very similar to EHD, having a vaccine specific to both is another part of a toolbox in overseeing the health and well-being of your deer,” she explained.

In order to test the safety of the prescription platform technology, a

vaccine Safety Study was conducted after four farms, one located in South Dakota, one in Oklahoma, one in Missouri and one in Ohio, agreed to allow their herds to participate. The study evaluated how safe the vaccine appeared for the target species (white-tailed deer) and recorded all reaction events that may have happened after an injection such as limping, soreness or not eating. Medgene’s currently available EHDV2&6 vaccine is manufactured differently than the methods used in the prescription platform system. Though the immune response is robust, “it didn’t matter if it was administered IM or SQ, the deer would be lame afterwards,” said Amy Nold of Nold Farms, LLC in Urich, Missouri. “I would say this new vaccine formulation shows great promise. Lameness is much less significant. I think it allows for more confidence while not inhibiting production.”

In addition, Nold felt there wasn’t a difference between how the does or bucks responded to the vaccine. Vaccines were administered starting December 16th, 2024, and followed up with a booster on January 4th, 2025. Every farm that participated

reported their observations back to Medgene Labs, who upon receiving the results, prepared and submitted a report to The Center for Veterinary Biologics, a division of the USDA located in Ames, Iowa. The center, which works to assure that safe and potentially effective veterinary biologics are available for the ultimate treatment of animal diseases, will more than likely need three to four months to review the report, Petersen said. Should the vaccine platform for use in whitetailed deer be given the greenlight, it will join others that subsist under Medgene Lab’s Prescription Platform License and will contain a “label claim” listing potential side effects. “I’m willing to use this vaccine on all of my deer,” said Nold, whose herd numbers exceed 200 head. “I say the risk is worth the reward in seeing our deer grow and in learning about and caring for one of God’s most wonderful creatures. Anytime you have an opportunity to participate in research, it’s always a pleasure and an honor.”

SPREADING A POSITIVE DEER FARMING MESSAGE: PROMOTING AN INDUSTRY UNDERSTANDING

“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.”

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR SEMEN STRAWS

Scott Fier drives down the long scenic road from the center of town to his 30-acre deer farm of 21 years, Buffalo Ridge Whitetails in Porter, Minnesota. Trees are beginning to turn from green, to gold and crimson as the season of fall settles on the horizon, accompanied by shorter days and cooler temperatures. T-shirts are replaced by sweaters and jackets. Fawns are well on their way to being weaned. And it seems just about the time they are, preparation for breeding season begins. While careful management strategies dictate that some deer farmers opt for live cover certain years, other farms rely exclusively on semen straws to diversify their genetics, breed for CWD resistance, acquire more buck or doe fawns or perhaps incorporate more powerful doe lines. Depending on herd size, your budget or the amount invested in a semen straw (which can range in price anywhere from $100 to $10,000 per straw) deer farmers have three options for breeding their prized does. These options include vaginal insemination, laparoscopic artificial insemination (LAP A.I.) or embryo transfer.

While vaginal insemination may cost less up front and not require as much preparation, an entire semen straw, delivered via an insemination gun, must be administered per doe. While this does not necessarily require a vet to be present, comparatively, using LAP A.I., two to three does can be bred per semen straw. However, A.I. procedures require a veterinarian to perform the procedure which is akin to surgery. Whichever method you use “you’re going to have some expense either way,” said Fier. However, the ultimate decision as to which method to use may come down to how much

each semen straw costs. The higher the cost, the more likely you will be to use LAP A.I. and increase the number of fawns with those high-end genetics, Fier, 43, explained. Preparing for these procedures requires the farmer or paid professional to handle each straw with great care. While semen straws can be stored indefinitely in storage tanks, the liquid nitrogen inside each tank (responsible for keeping the temperature -300 below zero) must be refilled quarterly and acquired through your local semen storage facility, where semen can also be stored and maintained. Once out of the tank, straws must be placed in 96degree water in a thermos to thaw for approximately two minutes. “Always try to use the thawed semen as quickly as possible,” Fier said. “It can remain viable as long as the straw is used within 20 to 30 minutes.”

Does receiving vaginal insemination are generally run through a chute where they may or may not be sedated. Does receiving LAP A.I. are always sedated, tilted on their backs and shaved around their teats and bellies. Upon sanitizing those areas,

a veterinarian makes a tiny slit near the udder and using a microscope and tiny needle, injects semen into each uterine horn. While the success rate of vaginal insemination and LAP A.I. is very good, farmers typically use a “back-up” buck around the 18th day after insemination, to ensure the highest chances of doe pregnancy. DNA tests can prove whether fawns are the prodigy of the semen straw or the back-up buck, once they are born. However, an earlier delivery date points to vaginal insemination, LAP A.I. or embryo transfer. In addition to selecting a procedure that fits your needs and budget, deer farmers can also choose between conventional semen straws with 75mm per .5cc straw or approximately 50 million sperm cells or sexed semen straws with .25mm per straw or approximately 9 million sperm cells. However, given the amount of does a deer farmer may want to breed, bigger farms may feel that LAP A.I. is usually the best choice given a semen straw will go farther, Fier said. The question is “do you want to breed 10 does or 50?”

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp. olive oil

• 1 yellow onion, diced

• 2 green bell peppers, diced

• 1 lb. ground venison

• 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.

THE BENEFITS OF FEEDING TREATS TO DEER

WHY, WHEN AND WHICH KINDS ARE SAFE?

Staying on top of herd health finds many deer farmers to be big proponents of feeding treats to their whitetail deer. Safe options could include animal crackers, peanuts, marshmallows, horse treats made with oats, golden oreos or other similar non-chocolate cookies. “Feeding treats helps me to get a good look at them every day,” said Chase Baker of Baker Whitetails in Junction, Illinois. “Each deer has a distinct personality and if they aren’t acting like themselves then I know something is wrong. If I can get closer to one that normally I couldn’t or pet one I normally can’t, there’s a problem. Or if one that is normally friendly and right up front is hanging out in the back, then I know I need to attend to it. There could be any number of things wrong from a soundness issue, a wound or a virus.”

Baker, who prefers to feed animal crackers and buys them in bulk, also adheres to certain safety rules while feeding treats. He only feeds bucks outside the fence and never touches them. He also never wears gloves, to allow his deer to be familiar with his scent. Baker

also recommends feeding treats during a specific time of the day, to help ensure that expectant deer will be ready, waiting and easier to find. Through Baker’s year-round routine of feeding treats, it allows him to check for ailments specific to certain times of the year such as pneumonia in the fall or EHD in the summer months. While feeding treats year-round can be ideal, in places such as New York where winters can be much colder and more brutal, Dana Hoover of Mountainside Whitetails in Penyan, New York abstains in the winter from doing so. “Starting after NADEFA when the weather turns nicer, we start feeding treats again,” Dana shared. “I like to feed peanuts for the protein aspect and that way I won’t get sticky hands like I would feeding something like diced up apples. Peanuts rattle when they hit the ground, and the deer know the sound.”

Dana and his wife Ella feed treats from early spring until early fall and revel in the time they spend in the deer pens. They have found that throughout the winter, their deer tend to get wilder due to reduced interaction. As soon as the peanuts

come out and Ella resumes her daily practice of walking though the pens, the deer calm right down (and fawns get used to seeing humans from the very onset.) “This really helps our program,” Hoover said. “We can safely watch them grow and catch stuff early on. It also gives us a head start on any potential antler infections. We’ve definitely caught most of them early on during the years.”

Medicinal benefits from other types of food such as raw pumpkin, also perceived by deer as a treat, is a natural dewormer as a result of the fiber content. In addition, acorns, watermelons, apples, alfalfa, soybeans and legumes provide vitamins, protein and energy. However, certain foods such as cucumbers, rhubarb plants, potato leaves, tomato leaves, onions, garlic, daffodils, foxgloves and poppies are either toxic, or generally unpalatable to deer, and should not be found near where they thrive. “If you have a garden, make sure it is fenced off properly and your deer are unable to get in there,” Baker said. “Regardless of whether you’re growing watermelons or tomatoes.”
