The City of Gaylord maintains an elk herd and provides viewing areas for the public to stop and watch these impressive animals. Under the City’s care, roughly 40 elk, along with sika and fallow deer, can be viewed from near the Elk’s Lodge off Grandview Blvd.
The herd is contained on 108 acres. City staff feed the animal corn, hay, sugar beets, and vitamins. The herd started with three elk, when a local nature center closed in the late-1980s.
Currently, a few of the bulls weigh well over 800 pounds and stand roughly 6 feet tall. The bulls will don their massive antlers during the fall and winter, dropping them in the spring.
They are friendly and have been known to enjoy pets!
