Looking for some axis, Sitka, oryx or gemsbok, blackbuck, and some whitetail stocker bucks and bred does. Anyone have any information on how and where are good places to buy, please let me know. This is for a friends ranch between Rocksprings and Del Rio. Neither of us have any experience with this and figured I could get some good advice and feedback from you guys.
Thanks for the help.

I went to an exotic game auction in Harper, Tx. one time several years ago. Raz Livestock sales. Didn't buy, just killed a day while the wife shopped in Fredericksburg. I don't know if they're still in business. As far as private sales go I have no idea.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

Personally I would buy from the people who actually breed and raised the animals. They will have probably been taken better care of and not put under as much stress as those from an auction. If I was going to get animals from an auction I would probably get them from the YO Auction. They will have been taken better dare of and you won't have to worry about cutting ear tags off. WT you really need to get from a breeder so you know first hand what you are buying. I hope you realize what you are getting into.

Well I am sure we haven't thought of everything we should with getting into the exotics, but we have tried. I understand your point of buying from breeders, makes a lot of sense. That is kind of the direction I was thinking myself, but I have heard of the auction at Harper and was wondering about that as a possible option. Thanks for everyones comments so far. Keep them coming. And if anyone has any contacts of breeders, I would sure be interested in them as well.

I'm not ready yet, but Exotic Trader on FB is where I'm watching prices and trying to figure out who to buy from. http://www.wildlifebuyer.com/Browse/C160535/Exotics_Deer always has some interesting animals and it's interesting to see what they are going for.

I have Hybrid Ibex nannies and billies tame and easy to catch. Send me some pictures of them, not sure about them being tame. We would want to hunt them.
