Birth of New Game Ranchers
 Recently, the Southeastern Game Ranchers Association sponsored the First Annual Louisiana Game Ranch Extravaganza, an event that was also supported by the Louisiana FFA, Steve and Carolyn Laughlin of the North American Deer Farmers Association (NADeFA), SGRA members Jerome and Nadia Fiti and the Juneau family of Moreauville, La., who offered their hospitality along with their private Safari Park to host the venue.
The event brought together members of the SGRA and Louisiana Alternative Livestock Farmers and, more importantly, introduced Louisiana FFA students to the world of game ranching and deer farming.
The event featured mini-seminars for enclosure-based wildlife management, antler scoring and artificial insemination of whitetail deer. In addition, there was a fabulous tour of the ranch, and an informative demonstration of how to work whitetail deer in a handling system.

Texas Proposes New CWD Regulations for Elk
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a fatal, degenerative brain wasting of elk, white-tailed and mule deer, has not been detected in Texas, but maintaining surveillance for the condition is essential for animal disease response and trade purposes. The Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC), the state’s livestock and poultry health regulatory agency, has proposed new regulations to ensure adequate CWD surveillance of captive and free-ranging elk moved within the state. The TAHC will accept comments on the proposed elk rules through November 9, and the TAHC commissioners will consider the rules for adoption at their December 8 meeting in Austin.
“White-tailed deer and other deer species have been under existing CWD surveillance programs through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and the TAHC,” said Dr. Bob Hillman, Texas’ state veterinarian and TAHC executive director. “The TAHC also offers voluntary CWD herd status programs for captive deer and elk to qualify the animals to be moved to other states. Furthermore, the TAHC has had importation rules in place for several years.”
