Wapiti-Red-Deer Cross

wapiti-red-deer hind, which so far is producing exceptionally big 

 calves, being a small, by no means sturdy-looking, animal scarcely 

 bigger than a pure red deer hind.

CROSS-BRED ALTAI-RED-DEER. 



calves (she has had five so far, three of them being stags) are big 

 strong deer, almost as large as wapiti ; in fact, when eight months 

 old they were almost as big as their dam. All these calves are 

 by an Altai stag, so that they are wapiti-Altai-red-deer hybrids a 

 cross, I believe, never previously attempted.
