Whitetail Deer Farmers of Ohio Grateful for Prosperous Event

A Word of Appreciation from Executive Director Levi Miller

I may be a little worn out from our annual event August 13th-15th in Mount Hope, Ohio, but it is the best kind of tired a person can be. I’m very satisfied with the way it all worked out. Our event continues to grow each year in numbers and popularity. We fed close to 1,000 people on Thursday night. Everyone seemed to be really happy. Our booth spaces were completely full, and we had 124 gun tables sold before we had to draw the line on selling more.

This event is one no one ever forgets. Through the help of our gold sponsors, H & H Whitetails, Whiskey River Whitetails, Major League Whitetails, our fantastic board and all who participate, we make sure the guy with $5 in his pocket feels just as comfortable as the guy with $5,000 in his pocket. Our buck auction, benefit auction and breeder auction were very successful, proving once again that if you can raise a nice clean buck, you can still make a lot of money.

Funds from our benefit auction will be used (after we satisfy operating costs) to help a few select

needy individuals and families. A fundraiser was also held for Keith and Mary Warren as they work to rebuild their life after losing their home. We extend our gratitude for their attendance and support of our annual event.

It is my personal hope that all who attended this year come back next year. It meant more to me than you’ll ever know that I was able to speak to so many attendees face-to-face and thank them for their attendance. For me, that was the biggest highlight. I thank the Good Lord for our prosperity and for Bonnie Klick, the wife of the late Terry Klick, who came and helped out. We were both certain he was smiling down on all of us. Until next time, take care and God Bless.

BREEDING FOR CWD RESISTANCE

HOW IS THIS DONE WITH RESPECT TO PROVEN PRODUCTION AND MARKETABILITY?

The fastest way to get to negative GEBV’s such as -.3 or -.2 or better, is to use deer that have SS markers and negative GEBV values, offers Ivan Hochstetler of Double H Whitetails, 25-acre deer farm in Mt. Eaton, Ohio. However, proven production and pedigree can also play a huge part in exactly how you arrive at having such a herd. Many deer farmers simply do not own (at this point) quality breeding bucks that are SS with negative GEBV breeding values. Yet it seems “every year a good buck comes out with good markers,” Hochstetler said. “For us, we buy SS semen with negative GEBV values from privately owned farms.”

The push to breed for SS markers and negative values and the realization that it was going to become necessary, began about five years ago, Hochstetler believes. Three years ago, things got more

serious. For Hochstetler and his herd of powerhouse GG does, he knew he needed a strategy. In breeding his proven and very valuable GG does to SS bucks with negative GEBV values, he is now producing GS deer and some SS negative breeding values. He has also not culled any deer but rather has sold some to hunting preserves. If all goes according to plan, in five years Double H Whitetails will see a huge impact as a result of their breeding decisions and have their very own SS bucks for breeding. “We’ve tested our offspring, and they are more and more resistant with each breeding cycle,” Hochstetler said.

Utilizing your current herd while working towards resistance breeding is a strategy that Joe and Crissy Johnson, owners of 7-acre Whiskey River Whitetails in East Sparta, Ohio are also abiding by. “We are doing a mix and not giving up proven production and pedigree,” Joe Johnson said. “Ninety-five percent of our deer are foundation deer to Ms. Patrick, a line that has proven itself for decades and decades.”

When Whiskey River Whitetails first got started three years ago, they acquired GG deer as starting stock for raising typical deer. Today, they use semen from SS bucks and have subsequently acquired GS offspring. “In a couple years we hoping to have phased out the GGs and have our very own SS big clean typical breeding bucks,” Johnson added.

While solid scientific proof points to the understandable justification for SS production, things can and often do change quickly in the deer industry. Therefore, Johnson, 47,

@ 3

believes his decision to preserve pedigree and proven production is a solid one, no matter what the latest trends may be or could become. “At this point I say ‘to each his own’ in finding what works for you and your farm,” he said. “Everyone has their own opinion on what is best for them.”

Going forward, Hochstetler feels that currently, “there’s not enough people selling markered does, but as that begins to happen it might be harder to afford to acquire them, especially for the new deer farmer,” he explained. However, while this may or may not prove to be a stumbling block “deer farmers are the solution to CWD and I feel having a reliable markered herd is what we’re all going to need, along with the indisputable proof from NADR that it’s real.”

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 many blessings we may have. Wishing everyone successful deer farming!

EMBRYO FLUSHING A PROVEN BREEDING PRACTICE

When deer farmers tell Kevin Calmes “I know my deer,” he responds with “yes, but you don’t know the insides of your deer.” Calmes, who is a consultant and product shipper for Advanced Deer Genetics as well as the North American Small Ruminant Manager and Coordinator for Sexing Technologies, believes his specific recommendations for A.I. breeding and embryo flushing will provide a deer farmer with a safer and perhaps a more successful outcome.

Embryo flushing, often used to allow recipient does to carry the offspring of does with superior genetics, can be an efficient way to produce a uniformly high-quality herd. It all starts with placing CIDR’s in does with superior genetics, followed by follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) shots 11 days later and subsequently inducing multiple ovulations. In his years of experience travelling all over the world to work with cervids, Calmes has found that does, when run through a chute for any type of breeding procedure, tend to fight ovulation. “The stress put upon the doe by running them in a chute causes them to shut down in a sense,” Calmes, 57, explained. The better solution? “I prefer to run the deer into a facility, separated by ages, and blow dart FSH to get them to super ovulate,” he said.

Calmes has found that does who are darted with a specially designed 2.5 cc syringe with an 18 or 19gauge one inch needle shot out of a small pistol, absorb all of the FSH hormone and don’t even know they’ve been hit, since the small size of the needle and force of the pistol is so minimal. “The first time I’m in

there they might be nervous, but by the second or third time they aren’t because they don’t know something hit them,” he said, referring to the dart which was designed years ago by Chinese scientists. And while the hormone can also be administered in a chute with a pole injection, very often you will have backflow and wasted product, decreasing your chances of fertilization success.

After two to eight FSH hormone shots have been administered, depending on protocols, CIDRS’s are pulled on day 14 and followed up with a hormone shot of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG.) The next step involves laparoscopic artificial insemination (A.I.) ideally performed 57-58 hours later. Approximately six to eight days after that, embryos are flushed (as though it were another laparoscopic surgery in terms of preparation) however they are under sedation longer. After flushing and retrieval, embryos are placed in a petri dish and graded on a scale of one to three by an embryo specialist. Grade one embryos, considered the better ones, are either placed immediately into recipient does or frozen for later use. Grade two and three embryos, considered not as hearty as grade one, need to be placed into recipient does immediately as they may not retain their viability should they be

frozen and used later. While a small percentage of does whose embryos are flushed may retain one or two and carry them to a full-term pregnancy “I suggest rebreeding her that same year naturally, to help break up the scar tissue from the previous procedures and not put any additional stress on her,” Calmes said. “We push these animals so much. And whether it’s the chemicals sprayed on what we feed them or a lack of chelated absorbable vitamins and minerals in their diets, I have also found in my work that our semen quality is driven down year after year. On average, ten years ago we had 4-6 billion cells per buck per collection, and today it’s 2 to 3 billion cells per collection. Given that deer genetics are held in such high regard, I believe the industry as a whole needs to sit down and look at this.”

This gives Whitetail Deer Farmers of Ohio members a way to reach out to one another for services and to buy or sell deer! There will be limited pages for these card spreads, first come first serve. The overflow would be placed in the next issue and cards will be rotated each quarter according to space availability.

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 white-tailed 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 (whitetailed 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 white-tailed 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.”

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.

MKBM™ 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.
