Shop venison
PA Wanganui Venison is likely to be on supermarket shelves within a year. . A national councillor on the Deerfanners Association, Mr C. G. S. Cox, of Wanganui, said last night that commercial deer breeders hoped to market their produce through supermarket chains in packs similar to those in which smallgoods are sold. This will probably be
done through a processing factory in Helensville which already handles venison for distribution to restaurants and hotels. A major factor holding back the domestic sale of deer meats is the price they can bring on overseas markets, Mr Cox said. The gross return from red deer now averages about $1.16 per lb carcase weight. Roe deer return about $1.30 per lb carcase weight.
