Red deer has evolved into an exotic delicacy around the world. It’s healthier than beef containing half the calories and only 1/6 of the fat and almost no marbling.
The two main deer species being farmed today are the fallow and the red deer. The fallow deer are small (100-pound does), somewhat flighty, and produce a fine-textured meat. The red deer are about twice as large as the fallow and more "docile" (though quite unpredictable, occasionally).
