Great stuff , imagine how long those animals would have been in those crates ? . Wonder if they where shipped out that way ? .I'm guessing they probably where .
If i was to guess i would say it was a red deer release, from what i have heard they used to crate them for transport and then sometimes get housed in stables for a time which seen the death of a few through their natural instinct to jump. They would knock themselves out on rafters if they didn't kill themselves.
