We farm them in New Zealand, and apparently they are quite profitable. As well as venison they also provide deer velvet, which fetches good prices in Asia. I don’t know much about it, but you always know a deer farm when you see it because of the high mesh fencing. They are an introduced animal here, as are all mammals except bats. Unlike other domestic animals they also live in the wild, where they are a significant pest. Deer hunting is therefore encouraged and popular here.
