| 5 DEER » Peel Forest Estate An unwavering quest for excellence Solomon. Kim Newth Peel Forest Estate in South Canterbury is one of the world’s leading producers of red deer genetics, achieving consistent excellence in every aspect of the deer industry, including velvet production, trophy genetics and venison breeding and production. As well, the iconic property has earned a leading global reputation through its export of genetics (semen and embryos), backed with the latest technology, a purpose-built facility, and an expert advisory teamled by renowned deer veterinarian Dr Mike Bringans. “We are flushing upwards of 450 embryos a year,” says second-generation owner Mark Tapley, who is Peel Forest Estate’s Managing Director and Stud Manager. “It’s an important way to fast track your genetics. As well as exporting embryos and semen, we also do a large domestic programme as well.” • to page 6 Mark is a genuine homegrown innovator in the deer industry, whose favourites on the farm are the Forresters, bred for hardiness, solid body conformation, fertility, pass-on-growth to offspring, and impressive velvet attributes. Maternal ‘Forresters’ are used to create the ideal replacement hind that can then be crossed with a powerful terminal, such as their B11, to create hardy, fast-growing deer, producing some of the world’s finest venison. This line of deer is proving to be so important to the industry’s success. “Having hardy, resilient breeding hinds with all the important venison attributes makes such a difference to anyone’s operation.” Maintaining the purity of their bloodlines has kept Peel Forest Estate at the forefront of the velvet genetics market, with the operation also being one of the world’s largest producers of velvet.
