"Background"

Since the formation of the Lincolnshire Deer Group in 1997 we have been increasingly aware that the marketing of venison influences deer management.  The management of the wild deer population is often seen as an unfortunate chore/expense for landowners, and is undertaken solely in response to damage. 

Deer as a sustainable resource and an important part of the county’s biodiversity deer should be valued as an important, natural and economic part of our landscape.  Long-term sympathetic management of deer is likely to maintain healthy populations and avoid the excessive damage that occurs when management is only implemented in response to crisis.

Venison from these lowland areas is natural, healthy, low fat meat and much under rated. It has an image of being dry and very strong tasting and really not very nice to eat. This is a complete misconception and needs to be addressed through promotion and education.

The proposal is to generate sustainable higher returns from the deer cull in the county for members through the trading activities of a trading company “Lincolnshire Wild Venison Limited”.

Through the financial support of members, the Forestry Commission and the Wolds Advisory service & deer group funds  we have a processing facility based at Skirbeck Farm, Benniworth, Nr Market Rasen and have been trading as a Lincolnshire Wild Venison since January 2007.

LINCOLNSHIRE WILD VENISON LTD IS OWNED & RUN BY THE MEMBERS OF THE LINCOLNSHIRE DEER GROUP.
