In November 2009, we opted to use laparoscopic A.I. and all went well under the direction of   Glen Erickson from Wellsville, Utah.
Semen from the amazing whitetail bucks Ramsay and Pure Impact was used.

I donated my pony tail to Pantene Beautiful Lengths in honor of friends Jan, Mary Jo, Liz, Barbara, and Marti.
Each of these women have battled or are battling cancer.
There are several worthwhile organizations accepting long hair donations.
I chose Pantene's because they accept hair with a bit of gray.
They partner with the American Cancer Society to give real-hair wigs to women fighting cancer.

    KMOS TV tower
While driving between Missouri Conservation Areas on a morel mushroom hunting expedition,
we took a side trip near Syracuse to view this tower. Richard and I were awed by its 2,000 foot height.
This KMOS TV tower is the tallest structure in Missouri and the fifth tallest in the world.

Oh yeah, we found a few morels, too.


2009-April - Drop Chute Trailer 
The Missouri Department of Agriculture purchased a mobile drop chute trailer
for Missouri's deer producers to use when handling deer.
Whitetails of Greenview was the first to put it to work.

Shown here inside the trailer are state veterinarian Dr. Good, federal veterinarian Dr. Henry,
our farm veterinarian Dr. Howerton, and deer handler Mr. Porter.
Richard and Sam worked the gates and tunnels in the barn as they moved deer in and out of the trailer.
I handled the paperwork,  the syringes, and very briefly the camera.
Each deer in the herd was vaccinated, tested for tuberculosis and brucellosis, and tagged with new RFID tags.


  Chateau on the Lake - Branson, MO
This past spring, we attended the Chupp Deer Auction at the Chateau on the Lake in Branson, Missouri.
For future artificial inseminations, we purchased semen out of two extraordinary whitetail bucks, Ramsay and Timberjack.
Check out their amazing pedigrees on our 2010 Fawn webpage and 2011 Fawn webpage.

 Chupps Auction
The auction was well attended by whitetail deer producers from across the country.

Representatives from deer farms, state deer associations, taxidermies,

The almost brand new mobile deer chute trailer was on display outside the Chateau on the Lake.

RFID tags
Radio Frequency Identification tags (RFID) will most likely become mandatory in livestock
as part of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS).

RFID readers  Rich with reps from MO Dept of Ag & RFID reader
Also on display outside the auction, was an RFID reader that the Missouri Department of Agriculture can set up at a farm.
As the animal passes by the camouflaged reader that's set in place by the feed or water trough,
an electric or solar-powered reader "reads" the tag for identification and inventory purposes.

Little Boomer, Boomer, Flees' Magnum, Thunder, and Buckeye.

Maxin, PJ, BJ, Poncho, Max, Flees' Bucky, Little Boomer, and Boomer.

Cats have a reputation for being overly curious. We have cats. We have deer.
No creature's curiosity tops a deer's!

Where's the baby?

There's the baby

There's the baby!


                      2008 May 30 Y-C679       2008-07-06 Y-C679

The rate of antler growth is amazing. A difference can be seen daily.
Pictured above is four year old Y-C679 on May 30, then again just five weeks later July 6, 2008.


bottle baby  

Former executive director of the North American Deer Farmer Association, Holly Johnson, performed an exhaustive
milk replacer study a few years ago. She compared Fox Valley milk to another brand in a birth-to-weaning experiment.
I was so impressed with the results of Holly's study that I switched to Fox Valley milk replacer.

     bottle baby Nadia     well-fed fawn
Our happy, healthy, robust fawns have never scoured on Fox Valley milk replacer.
It smells good and dissolves easier than any other brand I've used.
A bonus: the milk comes in a five-gallon bucket (which can always be used on the farm).


 Maggie & Chicken

Maggie's not allowed to herd the deer, but Chicken is fair game!
The hen showed up on the farm this summer and has made herself at home among the deer, dog, cats, and humans.
She created a nest on the back patio and faithfully provides us with an egg every day. Thanks, Chicken!

Dear Maggie recently passed away. We'll profoundly miss her.

fawn Largo    daisy stud ear tag     fawn Y-4

A couple of years ago, we started using a new style of perma-flex ear tag with a "daisy" stud.
The daisy design is snag resistant and we've had fewer ripped ears.


 Sam, Largo, Whisper

Giving treats to the deer is always fun. Here's Sam with Largo and Whisper.
Every deer in the herd loves apples, but only Duke will eat the oranges.

Our son, Sam, is attending college, working toward a bachelor's degree in cyber security.

Good news! Baby Evelyn arrived!


2008 Richard with elk antlers

In 2008, Richard enjoyed yet another successful archery elk hunt in Colorado.
Six elk in six years. Wow! Great hunting and good eating.

A bit of fame for Richard: a photo of him and his elk
on the cover of "Release", a Missouri Bow Hunters publication.
