Ryenna Wapiti owners Jesse and Tracey Saunders are holding their inaugural open day on-farm near Winton today. Up to 20 wapiti bulls would be offered by private treaty at their Ryenna Wapiti on-farm open day in Dunearn, northwest of Winton. He was targeting selling his bulls to red deer farmers, who could use their bulls as a terminal sire. Mrs Saunders said a reason for launching the open day now was because Tikana Wapiti owners Dave Lawrence and Donna Day were no longer holding a sale. Ryenna Wapiti won three prizes at the 2025 National Velvet and Trophy Antler Competition in Invercargill last month.
