So You Want to Start an Elk Farm

Be prepared to play the long game!  It took us over a year to get everything ready for the herd to come to our farm.  We documented this process on  Instagram, Nov -Aug 2023.  If you want to get a good grasp on everything that is involved in starting an Elk Farm we encourage you to check that out.

Here are some things to consider before you start

​

  • Plan before you begin - starting an elk farm is not a quick process!

  • Contact your local Ministry of Agriculture for regulations that may affect your elk farm

  • Contact other elk farmers for their experiences.  If possible, visit an established farm to see their set-up

  • Consider your costs - There are a lot of expenses beyond just the animals (fencing, handling facility, feed, vetting

  • Make a business plan - remember that it will take years to see a return on your investment.

  • You will require a Record Keeping System for both financial accounting & Animal Records
