Feeding
The red deer are on pasture throughout the year. Their grass diet gets supplemented with barley, corn, soybeans, and hay silage. We produce most of our feed and the rest is bought from local farmers.
Our red deer are raised naturally without any animal by-products, antibiotics or growth hormones added to their diet.
Venison Customer Benefits
• Locally raised premium quality venison
• Naturally raised
• Wide assortment
• Processed in an inspected facility
• Healthy for you and your family
Trillium Meadows deer are raised with great care with regard to nutrition, health and handling.
This enables us to warrant the following:
Exquisite Flavour: Our venison has a mild flavour in contrast to wild deer, which often has a wild or gamey taste.
Tenderness: Due to proper aging and processing, Trillium Meadows offers superior venison.
Venison is high in protein, contains iron, zinc and many of the B vitamins, and is raised naturally, without growth hormones, antibiotics and dyes. In addition, venison is very lean – there is no such thing as “marbled”‘ venison. A deer has 5% body fat whereas other domesticated animals have up to 25%.
