According to the locals, deer is a traditional animal that has been with them for decades. Although there were times when prices dropped and some localities were no longer interested in raising deer, people still maintained and stabilized the herd.
Currently, with the selling price of 5.5 - 6 million VND/kg of deer antlers and 9 - 10 million VND/kg of deer antlers, it has brought a significant source of income to breeders.
Like Mr. Phan Van Thang's household (head of hamlet 8) only raises 3 selected deer, each time the deer is cut, the weight is from 3.5 - 4 kg/deer. Of these 3 deer, 2 are cut twice a year; Mr. Thang earns nearly 100 million VND.

According to Mr. Thang, deer are easy to raise, their food is easy to find, mainly grass, leaves, potato vegetables, corn... This type of livestock is also less susceptible to diseases than pigs, buffaloes, cows... To have a food source for deer, people have expanded the area of winter crops such as corn, sweet potatoes; this winter alone, hamlet 8 planted 15 hectares of sweet potatoes.
Thanks to the stable maintenance and development of deer herds, the lives of people in Hamlet 8, Quynh Yen Commune have increasingly developed. From there, people have improved their family lives and contributed to building new rural areas in the locality.
