Remember the Seneca White Deer?



I've posted about them before. It would be a shame if the herd was not preserved.

I want to know if the deer farm that we can see on the way to Plattsburg has some of these. They seem to have a quite a few piebald and/or albino deer (Can't really see too well as I'm wizzing past).

From what I understand, albinism isn't entirely uncommon throughout the deer family, so that when natural selection is removed via farming it really jumps up. I think I heard something like 1 in 30 births among whitetail deer.
