What to consider when diversifying into pheasant rearing >More in
Gamebird rearing can provide a good secondary income for farmers looking to maximise the value of farmland.
Pheasant and partridge can be produced on a small acreage and, as it is seasonal, rearing can offer a good balance to other farming activities.
The pandemic has led to contraction in the market since it has restricted the activities of shoots but, as the industry has been on an upward trajectory for two decades, demand is likely to return in the long term.

It is possible to rear pheasants and partridges on a small plot.
