At what age would you stop breeding a doe. I'm looking at buying a 8 year old bred doe. How many more years of breeding would you think she would have??

I'm not sure if there really is a age to stop breeding her but would say a deer getting to 12yr is really good. Like what the other post says she may go tell 14 or maybe even a yr or two more then that but with that said with her being 8 you might only get one more year. Would say a safe bet would be 3-4 more years would be safe to say with anything after that a bonus.

Deer Whisperer

In my book Deer Whisperer we owned a doe that lived to the age of 24 giving birth to 38 fawns and had twins in her when she died four months before her 25th birthday. As long as they are healthy I see no reason not to breed them. Good luck!

I would bottle feed all fawns from does over 12 years for a number of reasons.

If you have a large, healthy doe who gets around well, then you could breed her until she's 12 or so. If you have an older one who tends to be slower or exhausted with babies, then consider stopping her at 8 or 10
