The Rural Voice, 1991-02, Page 27farming's bright prospects down the
road. The three took a long, hard look
at all aspects of deer farming before
adding eight New Zealand red deer
hinds and one stag to a family enter-
prise near Hensall already running 600
acres of cash crops, 2,500 layers and
40,000 pullets.
Coldstream's services before and
after delivery, including a regular
newsletter on various aspects of deer
raising, was the deciding factor.
The Heyinks are counting on the
success of deer farming to enhance
their $28,000 investment in stock and
facilities. A section of a driving shed
was adapted to house the herd. The
Heyinks used their own cedar posts in
fencing off a two -acre deer yard.
"Most of the work is done before you
get the deer," Ray comments
The only danger the Heyinks
foresee is making pets of their deer! It
took just four weeks to have most of
the hinds eating out of their hands.
Wayne Scott
Five years of "hanging on" at the
farm he bought east of Carlow in
Colborne Township in 1985, supple-
menting his income with an outside
job, led Wayne Scott to conclude that
"conventional farming is shot."
Wayne has turned to elk, "the
Cadillacs of the deer family," in his
hunt for future security m agriculture.
Before investing, Wayne read
every scrap of information he could
find on game farming, visited five es-
tablished set-ups, and spent hundreds
of dollars on phone calls. He did not
want to repeat anyone else's mistakes.
In the course of his investigation,
Wayne met New Zealand elk expert
John Barber, a founding member of
the North American Elk Farmers
Association.
The two men developed a business
arrangement. Barber had an ideal spot
for some of his breeding stock on
Scott's undulating acreage. Scott had
Barber's expertise and assistance in
designing and building Cadillac -class
housing and handling facilities based
on a system of versatile gates.
Half of a 60' by 36' shed was fitted
with an ingenious maze of gates that
can swing 300 degrees and lock into
whatever position is needed at the
moment, forming anything from a
