Grizzly Flats Farm is located in beautiful western Michigan, about 2 hours north of the Indiana border,
just 5 miles east of US 131.

We have been blessed to be raising Whitetail Deer since 2003 and it has quickly become a passion for us.  This has been an adventure that our entire family has become a part of, and we couldn't do it without them.  Because we take pride in what we do and love the animals that we are raising, we strive to provide only the best of everything for them.  After a lot of research, and traveling to many different farms, we were able to plan the layout of our farm and design a first class handling facility.  Our farm is situated on 80 acres, with about 40 acres under fence.  The pens are divided into eight 3.5 acre pens and five 1 acre fawning pens which are completely lined with shade cloth.  All of our pens and fields are seeded with alfalfa so the deer have fresh grazing and we are able to bale our own hay for the winter.

Keeping our deer as stress-free as possible is our number one priority as we believe it is crucial to our herd health and success.  A calm herd is obviously a stress-free herd.  Anytime deer have to be run through a handling facility is an extremely stressful time for the animals.  The less time in the barn, the less stress on the animal.  That is why we have designed our handling facility to allow for minimum human contact.  Our barn layout of alleyways, separators, and stalls all work together for a smooth entrance into, and exit from, our customized chute.  We have 5 small holding pens behind the barn which are used for temporary holding or sorting the deer in a simple and efficient way that is as safe as possible for all involved - animals and humans.  The deer can be moved from pen to pen, sorted, and observed without ever having contact with a human.  This also means that, due to our unique facility design, all of our animals are able to be loaded for transporting without the use of tranquilizing drugs.

Along with our son, Tyler, his faithful companion, Chica the chihuahua, and Bella, my pomapoo, we welcome you to visit our farm anytime.  Please feel free to contact us with any questions concerning our animals or facility.  We look forward to talking with you soon.

Thank you and God Bless!
