Frequently Asked Questions 

1. What type of deer is at the farm?

We have Red Deer at the farm, Scotland's largest native land mammal. You can usually spot them by their impressive size and distinctive reddish-brown coat.

2. What happens to the antlers?

Every year, our stags naturally shed their antlers and grow a brand-new set. It's an amazing part of nature and a sign of a healthy herd. The new antlers grow back larger and stronger each year.

3. Can you purchase the antlers?

Yes! We occasionally have naturally shed antlers available to purchase. They make beautiful rustic decorations, are popular for crafts. 

4. What's the best way to cook venison?

Venison is one of Scotland's finest meats and is best cooked simply. Because it's naturally lean, it cooks quicker than beef and is best served medium-rare to medium.

Our burgers and sausages are perfect for an easy evening meal or a summer BBQ 🍔🔥.

Venison mince is a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional mince and can be used in all your family favourites, including spaghetti bolognese, chilli con carne, lasagne, cottage pie and many other classic dishes.

5. What are baby deer called?

Baby deer are called Fawns or calves. They usually arrive in late spring and early summer and are always a welcome sight around the farm

6. How many deer does the farm have?

Our herd is home to Scottish Red Deer, and the number changes throughout the year as calves are born and the herd grows. At the moment, we have around 200 deer - which is growing by the day. 

We take great pride in caring for our animals and maintaining a healthy, thriving herd.

7. Does Venison have any health benefits? 

Yes! Venison is naturally high in protein, rich in iron and an excellent source of Vitamin B12, which helps support healthy blood cells and energy levels. It's also lower in fat than many traditional red meats, making it a nutritious and delicious choice for a balanced diet. 🦌💪
