Realizing the potential and advantage to develop the model, he bought a couple of deer on trial farming. Initially, he encountered many difficulties because of not grasping the technique and no experience. Therefore, he tried to learn how to build the deer farms to take the antler in Ha Tinh.

The female deer will start reproducing after 2 years old, each litter one year.
