Breeding program

Our selection brogram based mainly on antler parameters like, antler weight, main beam lenght, spread, number of points and symmetry. However we also focus on the weaning weight, sixth monts weight anf mature weight. We collect and analyse all this data based on the farm’s motto: “Genetics – Selection – Evolution“.

Data recording and analysing

We constantly upload collected data to our database application. We then look at how the antlers are shaped and how they are growing.
The results of the analysis support decisions about selection.
