Andy has worked at Throwcombe Park as the Farm Manager for the past 25 years. He will talk to us about the challenges and delights of managing a local deer farm. Throwcombe Park has approximately 120 acres of pasture and woodland, with around 125 red deer, kept mainly for the production of organic venison. They are kept in a “near to natural” state, although many are extremely tame due to the selective breeding process. The talk will cover handling and de-antlering and other activities carried out throughout the year to bring an animal from birth to plate.
