00:00 This is Richard Beatty from Glen Park Estate which is down Omo direction.

00:04 That's right, yes.

00:05 So tell me a bit about this fella, he's magnificent looking Richard.

00:08 This is one of our own bottlereared.

00:10 Bottlereared, right.

00:11 Bottlereared red deer, which is a taller deer.

00:15 And he's bottlereared as a calf right through, so he's actually so quiet.

00:20 He's very tame then.

00:21 Yes, he just loves being handled, loves being with other people.

00:25 And do you have a name for him?

00:26 He's Freddy.

00:27 Freddy?

00:28 Yes.

00:29 And all these deer are being bred for venison?

00:31 Yes, we've opened 100 hens at home and we're starting to produce our own venison now for

00:38 our own restaurant.

00:39 And in the future going forward we're actually going to be selling our own venison through

00:43 our own farm shop.

00:44 Right, okay.

00:45 So we're just trying to launch them out.

00:46 I know it's just not ideal to see a nice quiet deer here today but we have 100 hens at home

00:51 and the hens we certainly have are females now so it's time to start to change them now

00:56 to making their own venison through their own restaurant.

00:59 And is this as big as this chap gets?

01:00 That's as big as he being now, he's six year old.

01:04 Six year old, right.

01:05 He's six year old.

01:06 Okay.

01:07 And then there's two hens here just around the same, they're bottlereared also.
