Thread: Catlins genetics.

Depends on where in the Catlins you're talking, and if the animals access to good tucker. There's a variety of genetics down there, with some escapees improving the wild herd. The forest park is a large area, then there is a lot of native private land too. Scrubby heads are typical but occasionally the odd decent one pops up. Decent ones aren't your typical Otago looking head, they usually have a bit of character like the one above. Usually in fringe country the stags are consistently better, for obvious reasons.
