Deer  management services to be arranged upon request, from 2014 onwards

Deer share their environment with many other animals, including man who uses the countryside to produce food crops for grazing and to grow trees, as well as building roads and railways  which provide transport to towns and cities.

Deer eat young crops and grass from livestock fields costing farmers thousands of pounds in the loss of crops and extra feed needed to keep livestock. Due to land development animals have had to adapt to the areas left to them and to utilise areas such as parks and gardens as the natural countryside dwindles.

Deer also devastate new tree plantations by eating the tops of the sapling trees and bark. If deer numbers are not managed in such situations they could end up killing the woodlands they live in.

In order to ensure the welfare of deer, protecting them from starvation due to overgrazing and from road traffic accidents, it is important that they are managed. It is also important to protect other creatures that share their habitat from the result of overgrazing and prevent deer from causing unacceptable damage to crops and trees.

Usually the management of deer means that they have to be ‘culled’ and it is important that the cull is carried our efficiently and humanely. CABLES will offer deer management services from early 2014.
