They are, but their meat isn’t in as high demand and they’re more expensive and difficult to manage than cows, sheep and pigs.

Pigs are an easy one, they grow fast, do well in sheds, eat most of anything and don’t require a lot, cows and sheep are herd animals, easy to muster and relatively easy to fence while growing large and meaty fast.

Deer are more difficult to muster, running faster and more prone to splitting up, they can also jump high requiring taller and more expensive fencing.
