Our first herd bull was a Reed grandson brought down from Canada from the Cliff Begg herd. We have concentrated our efforts towards having breeding stock with strong genetic backgrounds. Now you know why we call our farm Wildlife Lakes Elk Farm. If you have never heard Trumpeters communicating you must stop by in the spring to hear the unbelievable sound of the Trumpeter Swan. We presently have two breeding pairs on our ponds and have hatched as many as 5 cygnets per year. Trumpeters can be as large as 35 pounds and have a wing span as wide as 8 feet. The Trumpeter is truly a site to behold as it is the largest bird on the North American continent. We were one of the original cooperative breeders with the DNR, with a goal of putting Trumpeters back into the wild by releasing the offspring as we did with the Canadian Geese. We are now working in cooperation with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources on the Iowa Trumpeter Swan project. We have numerous (100s) of fall and winter visitors that stop by for a safe haven for the evening and night and then usually take flight and continue their journey the following morning. We no longer have any majestic Canadians confined, but have the opportunity to watch the life cycle repeat itself every year. They select a nesting site to raise more goslings themselves. Every year we have as many as 10 or more pairs return in the early spring to where they had been raised. We let the offspring of the Canadian geese fly and return to the wild with the hope they would return each year to nest and raise their offspring.
The mule deer were soon replaced with 5 elk heifers and a yearling elk bull, and we were on our way to being in the elk business. We actually started with breeding Giant Canadian Geese and soon added mule deer to our collection.
We decided the best way to enjoy wildlife on a daily basis would be to raise animals and waterfowl on and around these many man-made ponds and lakes. As you can see from the aerial photo, we have a weakness for building ponds and lakes. We have been raising elk for over thirty years, and have enjoyed working with these majestic animals every day of those ten years. Mathias Road Molalla, OR 97038 (503) 829-7107 About the Elk Farm.
