Axis Deer
Axis Deer, also known as Chital Deer or Spotted Deer, are the native animal of the Indian subcontinent. Axis Deer are found very commonly in India and are one of the most beautiful animals in the country. The Axis Deer of India was introduced in the state of Texas in the 1930s. Since that time, Axis deer have become the most abundant exotic ungulate in Texas. Axis deer are found mostly…
Barasingha
Barasingha are large deer with a yellow-brown coat that stand approximately four feet tall at the shoulder. Faint spots may be noticeable in some adult populations. Male Barasingha are generally darker in color than females. Tufts of hair can often be seen hanging out of the large ears of both sexes. Antlers appear only on males and grow in a C-shape from a profile view. The number of antler points can vary greatly, but 10 to…
Blackbuck
Blackbuck Antelope are one of the smallest antelope species of the exotic breeds. Mature males differ in appearance greatly from that of females. As males age, their coloration graduates from a light tan at birth to dark brown, almost black, at 5 to 6 years of age and older. These older males exhibit a striking contrast in color with their bright white bellies, muzzle, and “eyebrows”. Females and young Blackbucks have similar…
Scimitar Oryx
The Scimitar Oryx species is well adapted for survival in the dry areas it inhabits; it is able to live for nine to ten months without drinking, thanks to a number of specializations including kidneys that minimize urine production and an ability to reach body temperatures of 46.5°C before beginning to perspire. In the wild, the Scimitar Oryx lived in groups of up to 40, with much larger herds forming at certain times of year. In the wet season these herds migrated…
Red Deer
The Red Deer is one of the largest deer species. It is a ruminant, eating its food in two stages and having an even number of toes on each hoof, like camels, goats, and cattle. European Red Deer have a relatively long tail compared to their Asian and North American relatives. There are subtle differences in appearance between the various subspecies of Red Deer primarily in size and antlers, with the smallest being the Corsican Red Deer found on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia and the largest being the Caspian Red Deer (or maral) of Asia Minor about Red Stag goes here…
Whitetail
Whitetail Deer refers to the white underside of the tail, which is held conspicuously erect like a flag when the animal is alarmed or running. The adult Whitetail Deer has a bright, reddish brown summer coat and a duller grayish brown winter coat. White fur is located in a band behind the nose, in circles around the eyes, inside the ears, over the chin and throat, on the upper insides….
Breeder Bucks
Genetics at the KJC Rockin P Ranch are being improved with several does which have been bred by bucks up to 200 B&C class. With superior genetics, the potential for a trophy buck is primed. G623 is a grandson of Highroller and there are fawns on the ground from R512 and R534.
