At the 2017 NZ Annual 'National Velvet & Trophy Antler Competition' held on 12-12-2017, Altrive® Red Deer achieved wonderful results once again.

Altrive® deer named 'Altrive 22-14' won two awards. One Award in the 'Three Year Red' Section and another award in the 'People’s Choice' section.

The 'Three Year Red' section is particularly important as it is seen as a prime indicator of the farm which is most likely to have the highest quality velvetting deer in New Zealand in the upcoming years. Altrive® is especially proud of the 'People's Choice' award as it is the only award section judged by votes from contestants and it is therefore an endorsement by other credible members of the New Zealand deer industry that Altrive® indeed has the best & most perfect velvet at the 2017 national competition.

Additionally Altrive® deer named 'Altrive® 188-12' won 3rd place in the 'Five Year Red' section.
