Basic pastured ground beef sells for roughly $10 per pound at our local farmers' market. The higher-quality steaks cost $15 per pound or more. So, a lesser deer would be worth $525 in flesh (based on farmer's market meat pricing in your area). A larger deer may be worth $1000!
The price of venison varies depending on the region but typically ranges from $3 to $7 per pound. A typical whole deer will yield 4 to 6 pounds of meat. So, a deer that you kill yourself is worth about $15-$35 per pound.
A taxidermist can prepare your deer for display or sale. If you plan to display or show your deer, make sure to include a hunting license with it. Also, check with your state's wildlife department to see if there are any requirements for displaying your trophy animal. They may have rules about how far away it should be from roads, etc.
Most people think of deer as food, so they're usually not considered valuable livestock. However, since deer eat weeds and other plants that would otherwise harm crops, they help prevent erosion and keep grasslands open. This is important for maintaining natural habitats and allowing animals to move around easier. Farmers who want to try something different with their land might consider keeping deer as livestock.
Deer are very efficient at converting vegetation into meat, so they can be sustainable if managed properly.
