we do ours the day they are born after they are cleaned up and nurse for a little. helps to keep them all lined out.
 
you likely will not catch them after 3 days, so you better do it before then, lol !.
 
If they are born tiny , we wait like a week ...we dont want its ear hanging down.We use orange goat tags (200 to 215 days ) on our a.i fawns and then switch to blue goat tags 215 days after ...... Then we can know which ones were born first so we can dna them .
 
12 hours we pull all fawns and give them shots, probiotics, tag and send the bucks back out with mom or bottle feed the does. If it your first time tagging a fawn its hard ( you feel bad) but its better then trying to catch them later on and they run into the fence and hurt themselves.
