Welcome to LFR WHITETAILS

A ranch without a high fence makes it impossible to manage your whitetail deer herd effectively, due to neighboring ranches with hunting leases and hunters that do not share the same management practices as you!

I know that was my situation on my 2000 acre ranch in Venus Florida. So five years ago I chose to start raising deer and put a high fence around the entire ranch! 
​
When it comes to choosing where you Buy your whitetail deer, I feel I have as much experience as anyone in Florida about raising deer on a farm and then releasing them into a preserve, let me help make your dream a reality!! At our farm of 170 deer, you will find Breeder Bucks, Bred Does, Open Does, and Deer Semen for sale. 
​We also offer broad farming consultation.

Thank you for your interest in raising whitetail deer either you are a hobby farmer with 10 acres that you would like to get started with raising deer or a large land owner wanting to see trophy
whitetail bucks roaming your ranch. 

Before beginning this journey there are steps to take to be compliant with the State of Florida. 
For example an 8ft high deer proof fence and an inspection by the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission

Bred Does & Open Does

Bred Does are available for delivery around January February of each year, after the breeding season.. Most does have been A I “artificially inseminated” to a powerhouse Buck from somewhere around the country, then backed up with a breeder from my farm.
Does usually have twins but often times have triplets, and about three out of 50 have quads
If you’re starting a farm just to raise deer in your backyard I always suggest at least to Deer to start with so they have companionship.
Prices of does depend on the pedigrees and age.
