STEVE S COMMENT WELCOME TO OUR ANNUAL ENGLISH AND TROPHY SIRE SALE Time has certainly flown by with everyone so busy the stag sale season comes around very quickly. But as deer farmers its an exciting time seeing all your planned breedings coming through with exciting antler and velvet on young stags. The sale line up this year is without doubt the best we have had since I have been involved here at Peel Forest. Not only are they looking great but the depth of breeding is excellent. The style we believe of clean long heads that are attractive to the eye is coming through, and will pass on down through these stags progeny. As we all know tyne placement and shape as well as beam and spread are all vital in the make-up of a breeding stag and we are very conscious not to comprise any of these traits in the search for high scoring heads. There are some excellent stags in this catalogue of the Chancellor Peel bloodline either by sons or out of daughters. The potency of this bloodline is unmatched. Robroy, Sebastian and Mathias have had a significant role in the continued development of our English bloodlines. All very good body stags carrying excellent Johnes resilience and assisting in a noticeable lift in beam and overall antler dimension. Bernard Photos of the stags will be updated online on Trade Deer and our website as they progress towards sale day. We look forward to seeing you on sale day and are happy to discuss any questions you may have or if you wish to arrange to view stags prior to the sale. Regards Steve Blanchard 2 39

NOTES JOHNE S RESILIENCE INDUSTRY BREAKING JOHNE S RESEARCH AT PEEL FOREST ESTATE The annual cost of Johne s disease to the New Zealand deer industry in 2011 was estimated at least $8.8 million. Even more importantly, the cost of Johne s disease on farms with heavily affected deer herds can be huge, ruining the profitability of your deer unit. For the last ten years Peel Forest Estate has made a serious commitment to breeding Johne s Resilient deer on the property and is leading the way with an industry breaking research project with Dr Frank Griffin, Head of Microbiology at the University of Otago. There have been huge gains in the research by not only reducing the presence of Susceptible animals but more importantly identifying Resilient bloodlines. This breakthrough is even more important due to the fact Colin Mackintosh from Agresearch has identified the powerful heritability of either Susceptibility or Resilience to Johne s in deer. The heritability of the Johne s resilient trait ensures the ability of Peel Forest Estate stags to fight the disease on our client s properties. In Colin Mackintosh's paper following his trial on heritability he comments the offspring of the S (Susceptible) sire was significantly more severely affected than those of the R (Resilient) sire. Most of the Resistant, but not the Susceptible, showed evidence of resolving lesions and a reduction in M.A.P (Johne's) after challenge. The paper went on to say the 5 male offspring gained significantly more weight than the 9 S offspring over the 49 week study (70.3kg versus 59.8kg) despite being 2.8kg lighter at the start. This difference was statistically significant and even more significant because the S sire had a higher breeding value for 12 month weight. Further to this research Peel Forest Estate are now going to look into the possible improvements to meat yield and quality from progeny with Johne s resilience as well as the proven on farm productivity benefits. All stock at Peel Forest Estate are continually challenged by Johne s which has resulted in a radical test-cull, natural and genetic selection for Johne s resilience. The heritability of the Johne s resilient trait ensures their ability to fight the disease on your property. 38 3

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SIRE STAG CARE AND MANAGEMENT NOTES Sires are the most valuable animal in the deer herd. They carry the genetics that will determine the future production of your herd. The welfare and 12 month health programme cannot be compromised if you wish to get the best from your sires. ON ARRIVAL Stress is at a high level when your new stag arrive at your property. He has left familiar surroundings and mates he has lived with in a social group of around 40 animals of the same age. His arrival can be made a lot less stressful if you follow a few simple rules. 1. Your stag should arrive as early as possible to settle in (preferably before February) 2. Having a few animals in the yard when the stag is unloaded is important. He should be introduced to a small group of similar age (10-15 animals). Never put with older stags or spikers. Ideally if the hinds he was to mate were nearby he could go directly into the mob. Early fawns should always be the aim. THE ROAR A 3 year old stag will mate 40-50 hinds comfortably if he does not have to travel too far or has no competing stag nearby. When you put your stag out is your choice (the earlier the better) but be aware it can take 5-10 days to be accepted into the mob before he begins mating. It is possible to mate far more hinds than this but you risk a greater spread over calving and marked loss in body weight and performance in a young stag. When the stags are taken out of the hinds minimize fighting by preparing a safe paddock (with plenty of feed, shade and water) by taking the most dominant stag (older) first. Avoid a very hot day. Do not put stags used for mating with ones that have not been as this can cause excessive fighting. ANIMAL HEALTH Your stag will have been drenched and coppered before leaving Peel Forest Estate. As soon as the sires have settled down after the roar it is good practice to give them a drench, copper and a mineral booster. Hemo 15 is one option. This should be done no later than the end of May. He is at his most vulnerable state and parasites need to be addressed as soon as possible after the roar. 4 37

Very multi pointed tops with exceptional beam. He has cut the heaviest antler weight for age for the past 3 years. His 5 yr old head weighed an incredible 19.65kg (two days after cutting) and scored 502 6/8 MI. The imbalance to his antler, shown clearly in this photo, was due to a leg injury. Tragically Sebastian broke his leg after the roar. His unaffected left side scored 100 inches more than the right. We can only imagine what a great score it would have been had he not had his injury. Although he has made a partial recovery, progeny will only be available by AI in the future.
