Thank you, Julie.

So, in California, would the white tail population be growing while mule is
declining? When I got my CDA magazine, awhile back,  it implied that deer as
a whole were declining, not just mule deer. Maybe they were mistaken, or I
did not read it correctly....

When people raise pastured deer, (like in NZ) which variety are they
raising? Sounds like white tail  might be easier to raise on pasture?

ps to see some nice photos of beef (cattle!) look at cattlesale.com

I wonder if there are sites for other animals, like porksale.com?
