We Breed Exceptional Sires

At Houghton Deer Park & Farm, our breeding programme focuses on continual genetic advancement. By selecting and retaining elite sires from within our own herd, we strengthen each generation — enhancing size, structure, temperament, and antler formation.

 

This approach ensures consistency and excellence across our bloodlines, preserving the traits that have made our deer among the most respected in Europe.

 

Every sire is chosen for his ability to pass on desirable characteristics, ensuring the herd remains robust, productive, and true to type.
