Venison for sale
Stock Gaylard Fallow Deer
It is believed that fallow deer were first introduced to the park in 1268 under license. Though there is no evidence that they were present during mediaeval times. Thus the present herd is likely to have been reintroduced around 1800.
There are between 120 and 140 deer in the park of which around 40 will be does of breeding age. We aim to cull around that number each in order to maintain a healthy herd of a constant size.
Venison is The Healthy Option
