Our Breeding Program

Upgrade to the World's Best

For more than 40 years, Deer Genetics NZ has been breeding and selecting premium animals, with a focus on outstanding trophy potential and elite genetics.

Our breeding programme combines generations of experience with careful genetic selection and advanced reproductive technologies. We select animals for outstanding trophy potential, antler and velvet qualities, while maintaining the traits that make them valuable breeding animals.

Advanced breeding. Exceptional Genetics.

Artificial Insemination (AI) and Embryo Transfer (ET) are important tools in our breeding programme, allowing us to make greater use of exceptional genetics and accelerate genetic progress from one generation to the next.

From exceptional genetics to the next generation

 

Our breeding programme brings together careful animal selection, advanced reproductive technology and generations of breeding experience. By combining AI and ET with carefully selected sires and donor hinds, we can make greater use of outstanding genetics and continue building the next generation of elite animals.
