Harvesting Non-Cervid Animals at Driftless Ranch

At Driftless Ranch, we offer the unique opportunity to harvest non-cervid animals raised in a natural and ethical environment. Our animals roam freely, forage naturally, and are never treated with artificial supplements such as antibiotics or growth hormones. This results in lean, nutrient-rich meat that’s low in fat and cholesterol but high in minerals.

Our Philosophy

We believe in sustainable and ethical farming practices that prioritize the well-being of the animals and the environment. While these animals are considered agricultural products under Wisconsin law, they retain their wild nature, offering a healthier and more natural alternative for discerning consumers.

How It Works

Step 1: Purchase Your Animal
Customers must purchase the animal directly before any delivery or processing occurs. Payments can be made via cash, check or credit card and ownership is transferred at the time of purchase

Step 2: Plan and Harvest Your Animal
After purchasing your animal, you will choose a harvesting method that best suits your needs. Options include:

  • Live Delivery to a Meat Processor
  • Field Slaughter
  • Live Delivery to Your Own Facility

Each method requires planning and agreement in advance. For example, if you prefer field processing, you will likely harvest the animal using a firearm or bow and arrow. If live delivery is preferred, we’ll coordinate transportation to your chosen facility or processor.

Our team is here to assist with logistics and ensure compliance with Wisconsin regulations, making the process seamless and straightforward.
