Booths & Live Auction! Don’t Miss Out!

It’s that time again to be getting ready for the upcoming Whitetails of Oklahoma 2024 Annual Convention.

Whether a deer farmer, exotic breeder or hunting ranch owner or operator, this is your Association’s Convention that supports everyone involved in Oklahoma’s cervid industry. This year’s Convention will be held at the Clarion Hotel in Broken Arrow, OK Each year our Convention holds a live auction on items, services, etc. that are donated by members of the association, cervid industry and others. In addition there will also be a limited consignment sale immediately following the live auction. This sale allows participants to submit a great consignment while helping promote support and care of our state industry through Whitetails of Oklahoma. Consignments will be selected via a panel of industry representatives, not by members or the Board of Directors. Remember that any proceeds from our auction efforts are the operating capital for each year. The Convention will begin on Friday with doors open to all at 9 a.m. for booth setups and mingling. Friday evening is the all out kick off of the Convention with visitation, jokes and fun, booth viewing and pizza and drinks. See the following info and details.

We look forward to seeing you there! Best Regards, Board of Directors, Whitetails of Oklahoma

KANSAS DEER FARMERS SHARE

IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW, WHAT I MAY HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY STARTING MY DEER FARM By: Gail Veley • Sponsored by KEDA In the fifteen years that Joe Bisogno has owned and managed 3,500 acres of farmland at Timber Hills Lake Ranch in Mapleton, Kansas, he’s learned one extremely valuable lesson. “Instead of you working your land, make your land work for you,” he said. While Bisogno dedicates his life to raising whitetails, elk, fallow deer and buffalo, he notices a common trend among livestock farmers. “They tend to focus more on the animals rather than on the land,” he explained. “An equal amount of attention should be spent on land management and keeping it fertilized versus letting areas grow up with weeds that are out of control and other things you don’t want. Consider what you have and what you don’t want more of. As animals eat and defecate, they drop seeds that could leave you with 10,000 sprouting seeds or saplings you don’t want that could take a week or more to brush hog out.” “Knowing how to make your land work for you versus you working your land is one of the most important aspects of raising livestock,” Bisogno emphasized. “It could save you considerable amounts of time and money.” Perhaps just as important, timely soil sampling might help ensure that your deer or other livestock don’t end up living

on mere dirt, and that the soil itself contains the essential minerals it needs to sustain future vegetation growth. In addition, deer and other livestock actively seek out the cover and security that brush and trees provide, and benefit even more when vegetation of this type doubles as a viable food source. Although Jake Lamb of Sand Creek Whitetail in St. George, Kansas is more of a newcomer to the deer industry, he sees firsthand the shade and serenity the mulberry, oak and walnut trees in one of his pens provides to his whitetail and hopes to offer the same level of landscaping in every future pen he builds. During initial pen design and building, proper mowing is paramount as ticks can become an unwelcome nuisance. In running their businesses, both Bisogno and Lamb have witnessed the wrath of ticks firsthand. “I’ve had fawns practically eaten alive by ticks,” Bisogno said. As such, he makes a regular practice along with Lamb of feeding supplements to help deter ticks and other troublesome parasites. While parasite control, fastidious land management practices and proper pen design should be considered simultaneously, Lamb wishes he had also paid more attention to constructing alleyways. “Alleyways are key, and I should have done that first,” Lamb said. Had he to do over “I would have visited more farms and would have gotten a couple handling facilities set up and ready to go before deer arrived.” Short term plans

at Lamb’s farm include constructing a 14-foot alleyway between pens one and two using telephone poles and cutting down brush. Other farm plans include turning an existing shed into handling facility in order to be able to do “a little bit of everything,” Lamb said. “I’m willing to put a handling chute in there for A.I. when the need arises.” “We started off small to limit our mistakes,” Lamb said. “Like all deer farmers, we are looking to have a breeder buck at some point and breed for CWD resistance. We’d ultimately like to grow large-bodied typical deer.” Through the help of his parents who own a neighboring 260 acres, Lamb would also like to create a hunting preserve, his ultimate dream. “I’m grateful to every veteran deer farmer (such as Bisogno and Karla and Mike Kretschmer along with many more KEDA members) who offer advice and mentoring and want to help you succeed,” Lamb said. “I encourage everyone to stay involved in your state associations and stay connected. This way we can all support each other.”

PASSAGE OF OKLAHOMA HOUSE BILL 1844 WELL RECEIVED BY OKLAHOMA DEER FARMERS By: Gail Veley

Sponsored by WOO

Oklahoma deer farmers are now enjoying an open state border for receiving deer from any state where they are raised, thanks to House Bill 1844 which became effective November 1st, 2023. “We are very pleased they opened up our border. It makes things much easier for everyone,” said Tim Condict, Legislative Representative for Whitetails of Oklahoma (WOO) and owner of Flying Eagles Ranch in Hogden, Oklahoma. Since 2010, Oklahoma borders had been closed to importing deer from states that didn’t allow their deer to be imported into it. As other states closed their borders to imports the number of stocker bucks available to Oklahoma Hunting ranches markedly shrank, leading to a shortage of available bucks for hunting. Since that time, the WOO board voted unanimously to seek to change the law and worked diligently with State Lobbyist Karel Brewster to make it happen. When the vote on House Bill 1844 was ultimately held, it passed the Senate and House with flying colors. “WOO members are very pleased with the outcome of House

Bill 1844,” said WOO President Chris Ezell, owner of Dangerous Whitetails of Oklahoma in Adair, Oklahoma. “It’s very good for the longevity of our industry. This may help ease the passage of other legislation in the future and in 2024.” While deer can now be transported into Oklahoma from other states with closed borders, Oklahoma deer farmers can also continue selling their deer to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kansas, Illinois, Wisconsin, South Dakota and North Dakota. “We are hoping to be able to sell to more states and are working toward that goal, and if not, we want to make Oklahoma THE STATE to raise whitetails, mule deer or elk,” Condict said. “We are grateful to The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture for their support and cooperation in us raising deer in Oklahoma. Likewise, The Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture, Blayne Arthur, State Veterinarian Dr. Rod Hall, Assistant State Veterinarian Alicia GorczycaSoutherland and the entire staff at the Department of Agriculture have always been great to work with,” agreed both Condict and Ezell.

Since 1995, the first year Condict began raising deer, he feels the efforts made legislatively to make it easier to raise deer have been worth it. “Today, the prices we get for deer are better,” he explained. “Deer reach maturity at a younger age and our ability to make a profit is stronger. Genetics are better. Instead of selling a 5-year-old stocker buck we now have 2-year-old stockers, so you don’t have to keep them as long. You spend less time and money raising them, and it requires less overall space. This has made it better for farmers, preserve owners and hunters and allows us to more easily keep up with the demand.” Members of numerous state deer associations have experienced the benefits of working together for positive changes, as seen in states like Missouri. “That’s why it’s important to make your voice heard,” Ezell said. “Standing together, we can work toward a better and brighter future. Stay involved in your association. And support events like state conventions, annual picnics and the NADeFA convention.”

QUALIFYING FOR A CONSIGNMENT SALE WHAT EVERY DEER FARMER SHOULD KNOW By: Gail Veley • Sponsored by IDEFA Building your farm name through consignment sale participation is one of the smartest moves a deer farmer can make, offers Chris Ezell, co-owner of Whitetail Sales Auction LLC based out of Urich, Missouri. Although some consignment sales such as Top 30 (North and South) may be more exclusive and feature only the country’s top 30 breeders for that particular area, others such as Chupp auctions and NADeFA’s annual consignment auction offer opportunities for quality livestock or valuable and useful items to be featured and sold from a wider pool of consigners. As with every auction, programs are distributed describing each auction lot. “What deer farmers need to realize is what a great advertising opportunity it is to be in the program,” said Kristy Schwartz, President of Whitetail Marketing Inc., and Graphics/Catalog Designer for Whitetail Sales Auction LLC. “Even if you aren’t participating as a consignor, you can still advertise. Placing an ad allows people to identify with your brand. Coming to the auctions also allows you to gain insight and guidance from others and make goals for your future. It also helps your state.” Since the early 2000’s, Schwartz, 39, has been at the forefront of creating auction programs and working hand-inhand with each consignor to make sure

every detail is correct. Dates, times and places for every annual deer auction (as well as all advertising deadlines) can be found by visiting https://www. whitetailsalesauctionllc.com. Perhaps it could be seen as every deer farmer’s dream to be among the 30 breeders chosen for the Top 30 North or South auction, and to enjoy the prestige that goes along with that. “It all depends on the genetics you have on your farm,” Ezell said. “It might be tougher for a new farmer to initially get in, but possible after some dedication and hard work. It’s a great goal to shoot for.” The Chupp Auction, always held in Shipshewana, Indiana, generally features consignors from Indiana and closer surrounding areas. Ensuring that the quality of each auction lot falls within certain accepted parameters is in the hands of Ezell and Lester Eicher, who with Ezell, are at the helm of Whitetail Sales Auction LLC. Along with the Chupp Auction is a guaranteed good time with catered food, the unmatched hospitality of the Amish and the charm and culture of Shipshewana itself, a city with an Amish population of close to 90 percent. “If you haven’t been to this auction, you definitely need to come,” Ezell said.

The NADeFA auction, always held during the annual spring NADeFA convention, offers a chance to bring a wider variety of auction lots and showcase your best animal or most useful or well-crafted item such as a picnic bench (or even a magazine advertisement and article in your own quarterly deer association magazine.) NADeFA, which always draws a sizable and vast crowd from every state that raises deer, also offers a unique and interesting trade show as well as educational classes and the chance to mingle with some of the best producers in the deer industry. A percentage of profits from auctions often end up being donated to a worthy cause such as nonprofit organizations that support hunting and conservation, various deer associations and even individuals within the deer industry in need of additional support for personal reasons. “The deer industry is full of generous people willing to help others,” Ezell said. “Every deer farmer should make an effort to be a part of these auctions.” Interested auction attendees or participants should contact Ezell or Eicher if they have questions or need more information about deadlines.

THE NORTH AMERICAN DEER REGISTRY (NADR) OFFERING MORE SERVICES AND INNOVATION FOR BREEDING AND MANAGING DEER By: Gail Veley • Sponsored by IWDA Deer farmers, through the unwavering innovations of NADR, can now know exactly which GEBV markers and codons their deer possess, along with standard DNA parentage markers. “Our recently upgraded technology is allowing us to include GEBV markers and codon information with our standard parentage testing,” said NADR Executive Director Gary Cook. “This information allows breeders to maximize the reduction risk regarding CWD. The science allows them to genetically reconstruct their herds, making them less likely for CWD to occur, by virtually layering genetics from animals that are less susceptible to CWD. This will greatly influence breeding decisions as well as the future of the deer industry.” Established in 2007 as an independent agency to help validate the deer industry, NADR has also recently purchased Game Management Solutions (GMS) software from NADeFA. “Our goal is to reinvent it so it can be opened from a phone and utilized in web-based applications,” Cook said. “We’ve been spending considerable time and effort revamping it to make it a much more powerful tool.” GMS, a tracking system designed to help manage every aspect of deer farming, will be available on a subscription basis in late winter or early spring, depending on when NADR is ready to introduce it. Currently, NADR maintains a DNA registry for whitetail, fallow and mule deer and as such, has tested almost 400,000 tissue samples. In addition, NADR is working on adding SNP markers for axis deer that will be available in 2024. Deer farmers looking to sell, breed or participate in consignment sales are strongly encouraged to register their deer with NADR, through the submission of tissue samples. Sample submission options include an excel spreadsheet,

GMS software or manually. Samples could include pulled (not shaved) hair between 30-50 millimeters long from the underside of the tail, an antler core from the base of a shed antler, semen straws or used semen straws with the cotton plug still intact. However, AllFlex tissue tubes can be handled much quicker through an automated process versus hair or blood, explained Lindsey Kogut, NADR Senior Lead Scientist. “We need to constantly remind people that we’ve grown, and samples can take weeks to process,” she said. “The earlier you get them to us the better. We will keep you informed and let you know when it’s in process.” One of the advantages of the revamped GMS software will be the ability to notify breeders when samples are in process and when results are available.

the latest CWD research and how GEBV’s and codons influence resistance. “Genetic improvement for reduced CWD susceptibility is not a single step process. It is a work in progress and is a standard practice in commercial/production livestock species as well,” Kogut said. “This information takes the guess work out of it and can provide an immense level of comfort to deer farmers. I cannot imagine where the deer breeding industry would be without the efforts of NADR.”

As a more recent staff edition, Kogut, is responsible for ensuring parentage and GEBV results are reviewed and released to the breeders in an accurate and timely manner. Drawing from the extensive research conducted by Dr. Christopher Seabury, Kogut spends a considerable amount of time talking with deer farmers in an effort to explain

You may reach NADR staff by calling 405-513-7228, faxing them at 405-513-7238, sending an email to nadr@deerregistry.com or visiting their website at www:deerregistry.com. NADR is located at 1601 Medical Center Drive, Suite 1, Edmond, OK, 73034.

“We continue to work hard to provide the very best tools and the most valuable information in a genetic registry,” Cook said. “NADR is ever continuing to seek ways to use technology to provide knowledge and state of the art services to our customers.”

MINNESOTA DEER FARMERS FIND CHALLENGES WITH AMENDED 35.155 STATUTE By: Gail Veley • Sponsored by MDFA

egislative changes made effective July 1st, 2023, are making many Minnesota deer farmers question whether or not they can afford to stay in business. These changes include, among others, constructing an additional type of fencing or barrier outside of a farm’s standard 96” high fence, as well as tight restrictions on who an existing deer farm may be gifted or sold to. “If I knew when I got started in the year 2,000 how tough it would be today to run a deer farm, I may not have ever gotten started,” explains Scott Fier, President of the Minnesota Deer Farmers Association and owner of Buffalo Ridge Whitetails in Porter. “Back then, we were encouraged to raise deer. CWD was not something that was really talked about very much.” Although the Minnesota Board of Animal Health had governed over whitetail farms since 2005, sole authority now rests with The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and with that, perhaps more costly deer farm mandates. While new legislation requires deer farmers to construct an additional barrier outside of their existing fence “it does not necessarily mean a double fence,” said Mike Oehler, Farmed Deer and Captive Species Coordinator for The MDNR. In his newly created position, Oehler shares the four various fencing options acceptable to the DNR, intended to

prevent wild deer from making contact with farmed deer and spread CWD. The first is a standard double fence, a simple mirror image of a farm’s existing fence. The second is a “secondary fence” made of smaller mesh type material that wild deer cannot penetrate. The third option is a wooden fence or shade cloth barrier. The fourth option is an electric fence. Yet, many deer farmers such as Steve Uchytil, Vice President of the Minnesota Deer Farmers Association and owner of Crow River Whitetails in Atwater, feel any type of additional fencing is extremely cost-prohibitive. He feels the expense is not worth the risk, especially if new additional costly compliance measures are made into law in the future. As a result, as of December 6th, 2023, Uchytil plans to clear out his entire existing herd and later, start over in another state. Although Uchytil has found potential buyers for his property, current law requires him to either sell to an immediate family member (should the property remain a deer farm) or sell to an unknown buyer who will use the property for other purposes. Immediate family includes cousins, siblings, children, adopted children, parents or grandparents, according to the MDNR. Regardless, the property is required to remain high-fenced for 10 years and along with that, deed restrictions. “This is where the property value crashes,” Uchytil explained. “This legislation is impacting our state very badly.”

“We realize fear over CWD has caused these changes to occur. We would like the MDNR to acknowledge the diligence that deer farmers have practiced in breeding for CWD resistance,” Fier said. “While it may not be considered an exact science today, this is cutting edge technology and we’ve seen quantifiable results. And while we may not be able to prevent wild deer from getting CWD, we will prevent it on our farms. There isn’t a deer farmer in existence who doesn’t want to eradicate CWD. Sadly, many deer farmers in Minnesota are now closing their farms.” Steadfastly, Oehler and the DNR believe that wild deer, unless separated by fencing from farmed deer, can still pass on CWD. Should a deer farm test positive for CWD, current legislation requires biohazard signage to be placed every 50 feet of a farm’s property, perhaps cutting a property value in half, Uchytil said. Considering the multi-milliondollar revenue that high-fence hunting brings to the state of Minnesota, Uchytil and Fier both feel this is unfair and unnecessary. Deer farmers have until September 1st of 2024 to comply with the new laws. Minnesota Senator Andrew Lang and House Representative Dave Baker, deer advocates and lobbyists, were unavailable for comments.
