We had our Jerome Patrick doe give us quintuplets yesterday:) The doe was cervical Ai'd to Maxbo Solidcore, she gave us 4 females and one male. We have three on the bottle and left two on the mom.
 
Scott,

Sorry, I was kinda a red butt baboon. We have a Great White Pyrenees dog that patrols inside our deer pens. His name is Moose. He does a good job except when we are running the deer through the handler. You might consider getting one. I had a coyote and stray dog problem he has ended that threat.

pdaddy,

Ole Jerome Patrick was a very underrated sire. His mom was born on our farm.
 
Here is a picture of the Maxbo Solidcore/ Jerome Patrick doe quints. Bell, please tell me more about Jerome Patrick's. mom. I bought Jerome Patrick from OLAJO's and moved him to Louisiana.l

pdaddy,

His mom had a sister named Laney orange 25 I think Jerome Patricks mom would have been orange #24. They were Jasper/ Hollywood crosses. They were purchased from Glenn Lambright I believe. Joseph Coblentz(606)763-9328 whom my dad bought his farm bought the Hollywood doe from Glenn and she had the fawns by Jasper and he bottle fed both of them. I think part of a deal obligated him to send one of the doe fawns back to northern Indiana. Laney was a very good width producer and every time she had a buck it grew bigger antlers than the sire used. I would love to have Jerome Patrick breeding in my pen. If you have mature sons from him I guarantee you are happy or will be happy.

Happy also to announce we had quads or triplets by Arty out of Sheriff's womb sister this morning. I saw three big healthy ones before I left for work & I think she was cleaning off another. Edit- Dad said she was eating afterbirth and there were just two giant buck fawns. Lol
 
Bell No problem!!!  Im considering a pyrenees  so I can finally sleep at night! LOL! Thanks!!!

I bought ours as a Christmas present for Dad 2 years ago. He was six weeks old when I put him under the deer feeder out in one of our bucks pens. He stayed under there on some straw and barely came out for a couple days. The bucks who had never seen a white dog before eventually got so curious they would go up very close and look under the feeder at him. He is now over 150lbs. We have large pens but no worries about outsiders including wild bucks fighting through our fences.
 
Bell, thanks for the info on Jerome Patrick's mom. Jerome Patrick was a very good sire for our farm and has been very productive for the farms down south that used his semen. When we purchased him from OLAJO's he scored 282 inches, 6 X 6, 24 inside , 30 " main beams with three matching drop tines on each mainbeam. He sired the best yearling on six different farms in Lousiana in 2012.
 
pdaddy,

Were your quints all five bucks?

They all look similar in size and healthy. We have had healthy quads several times never 5

Congrats
 
That is an awesome pic padaddy. The most I ever got was trips, 3 times in the last 7 years. Almost always exclusively twins for me. This is my seventh year having fawns born. I was just telling some guys at church that I never had singles born, it's always twins, and very rarely trips. Well low and behold, this past week 2 of my does threw me a single. Only thing I can figure is the rediculously long and cold winter played a role, both these does had always had twins in the past.
 
we had a huge single 11.5 LB Doe Fawn born on Tuesday Eve this was 207 days after AI, Sire was Jumbo out of Sudden Impact / Big Guy / Maxbo Ranger / wendy doe This was a 2013 doe we AI'D, DNA will make sure it was the AI sire,  


 


she was our biggest Fawn last year so we decided to ai her, i was sure she took by the way she baged up, but was starting to question it after it went over 200 days, this was the biggest fawn ever born on our Farm


 


she did need some help but she's a tame doe so we were able to do everything in the pasture,
 
Samuel it is a good thing that was a doe fawn. If had been a buck you may have had to cut the horns to get it out.


Good luck with that big doe fawn.

That last post is what ive been wondering about for the past three or four days. Today was a week ago that thripets were born on our farm. Today is day 202. I have three, from that ai group, left to fawn. One is a 6 year old that went 200 days with a single last year. The other two will experience their first fawns this year. All three are big and all have milk bags. They look like the could go but dont show any labor body language. But, im beginning to wonder if they took. If it were back up they wouldnt have milk bags right now would they? Especially the two year olds that are first time mothers right?

It's the younger doe that still fool me all the time. I would say if their mothers developed bigger udders early. They could be doing the same. Certain bloodlines definitely have larger udders. If a young doe or new doe is fawning for her first time on our farm that is when I have been easily fooled by early udders indicating times of coming birth. Let's hope for little udder doe lines with fawning coming ASAP.
 
Whats the youngest deer you guys have had that had a fawn. Reason asking I have a doe that just turn 10 months old she does not have a bag but most fawns that have faens dont for me. She is acting funny and will not put her tail down she is bigger than some of my two year old doe but is she to young? Or should I watch her close here?
 
If ai doesnt take, when would they come into heat for backup? They seem way to big for fawning next month. By the way, my ai date was November 12th. Anything after 210 days is not from ai is what ive always heard.
 
we have seen anywhere from 21 to 28 days but usually closer to 28.


we have had 3 mystery fawns this year from 2yo does that had singles and only had about half a bag.  Finally figured out who had them with a lot of walking. LOL


I had one doe that pulled her CIDR when we were AI'ing  and we put her in with the buck and she took on that cycle, we didn't know when it was pulled.  She had fawns last year and 5 days before fawning she literally had just started to soften up around her udder, you couldn't see it, and filled up that fast and then we have had some start bagging 6 weeks before fawning.   
 
I hope everyone's having healthy fawns this spring! I have a weird situation going on I've never seen before. I seperated all my doe fawns last fall n put them to a pen by themselves. Decided to not expose any even tho I had some bigguns . Those girls were reintroduced back in with the moms after my breeder shed his rack this spring. So no contact what so ever. About a week ago I had a buddy over lookin the deer over and guessing who took to AI n all. He looked at me n said Lizzy has a bag ! I wuz like whatever!!! I looked and I couldn't believe it!! Don't look pregnant n no way cuz never was exposed. Got me scratching my head for sure. I wonder if all the babies runnin round got her hormones screws up? Never see this!?! What r y'all's thoughts?
