Pāmu has also been providing deer milk to chefs. While Shaw is focussing on deer milk skincare for now - where the milk's hydrating and nourishing properties have obvious application - areas such as ingestibles are of longer-term interest. Shaw believes New Zealand, with the world's largest population of farmed deer, has a unique opportunity to develop a valuable deer milk dairy industry. So from physio, to property, it's now red deer and New Zealand's bountiful potential that keep Graeme Shaw from retiring.
