What am I missing?
The facility had a herd of 376 deer when it was found that the place had tested positive for CWD. They moved 20 deer from the facility at an average cost of the deer of slightly more than $20,000 each. The remaining deer were valued at $917,100 and were all "depopulated" no mention whether that was killed or not.
They got $$ from the government for the deer.
Sounds like I'd be better off raising deer than doing something else for work! It doesn't matter whether the deer are infected or not, you still get paid for them.
July 18, 2012, a deer was "just introduced" into a facility, killed and checked for CWD. It was found to test positive.
The herd was quarrantined until August 2014, then "depopulated". The funding wasn't available until 2014.
"The above-referenced captive deer facility left the voluntary CWD program prior to the discovery of the disease as they had stopped selling live animals." That makes no sense. What did they do, sell the deer to the hunting faciltiy, then decide to stop selling deer before it was shot? If the shot deer was "just introduced" then it must have happened pretty durn fast - time frame between selling the deer and stopping selling live animals, I mean.
Is there a market for whitetail meat? If they aren't selling live animals, why keep such a large herd if for semen or for meat?
If they stopped selling live animals before the CWD outbreak was found out, how the heck did they get over $20K per animal for 20 animals? You mean that they had 20 bucks with racks large enough to be worth over $20K each?
Like I said, what am I missing?
