Boarding
When first getting started in the elk business, one option is
to purchase animals and board them until you build a perimeter fence and a handling
facility. Most ranches will hold your newly purchased animals for a certain period, but
you need to make arrangements for this during the time of purchase.
Another option is to have your purchase of elk on an investment only basis and to board the animals full time with someone
else. This allows you more free time because you do not have to build fence, build a
handling facility, feed the animals, possibly purchase land, structures, etc... For this
reason, investing is quite popular, with still very good returns.
There are many ranches around the North American Continent that will board animals for
individuals. Here are a few:
