West Virginia deer farm keeps dream alive after husband’s death
Kathy Rose runs a 100 acre Philippi deer farm started by her husband John Rose after a legendary buck inspired him. The couple began in 2004 with 39 deer and five elk, and Kathy now manages daily care and a memorial fund to grow the industry. Regulatory moves aim to align deer farming with other agriculture, potentially boosting jobs and venison sales in West Virginia.
