Sheep bring on the velvet

Although he loves to hate them, sheep have been Elliot Brock’s ticket to deer farming. Buying 1000 ewes in  2009 and running them on a 100-hectare lease block owned by his uncle and aunty, plus five years of digger driving for Castlerock Contracting, in Lumsden, have helped Elliot and partner Anna Hodges grow equity. Along the way they’ve bought in weaner stags for velvet and in 2012 bought a deer-fenced block at Kelso.
