• BDFA members have access to courses that improve their deer management skills which include stock selection, transport and handling.
• Maintaining and improving the good health of deer reared in enclosed land is a priority for the association as well as involvement in government research such as that carried out by the deer unit at ADAS Rosemaund.
• BDFA Council members covering all areas of the UK provide an advisory service to members.
• Farm and park open days, stands at country shows, annual conference and other events all contribute to a vibrant organization which all those who rear deer should join.
