Early born fawns

Had a surprise today with two perfectly healthy buck fawns walking around the pen. The mom was a live bred 3 year old that had healthy buck twins on normal schedule last year. Just wondering if anyone has had such a early fawning ever. Like I said they are healthy but I didn't expect that.

They are getting weak now so I pulled them and trying to get them back. Rain and cold weather ain't helping.

I have got their body temps back up and feed them red cap and bounce back but was questioning whether they received enough colostrum and wondering if anyone has used the colostrum replacer in powder from local fleet stores before?

The fawns are doing ok. They were fine this morning in barn then checked again 2 hrs later and one was groaning laying on its side totally limp. As we all know that's hard to reverse but I spent the day with them both and raised body temps and got plenty food down them and they now walk around and hold heads up fine. The worse one did look weak a while ago again but with food and bounce back he was right up again. Hopefully with time and care they stay healthy. Thanks for info guys

Well got up at 2am to feed and check on and only one fawn living and other barely hanging on. Probably the turning point for me as far as raising deer. It started out as a hobby from getting a deer givin to me then became a loving passion. But after losing a few fawns now over the 3 years and having dogs at my other location before we moved scare another to death it's just to much money to even get going. We have 3 kids and my wife just started working last early fall after finishing nursing school and we all know how expensive raising deer can be I just haven't got ahead. I have one 3 year old buck that didn't turn out the way I expected for the money and he is being used for breeding but I can't afford to buy the big names with deer dying. I'm not one to ever give up on something and maybe because it's 2 am but it is so frustrating putting all my money and attention into them and knowing I only have one 3 year old buck and a couple buck fawns that really aren't going to be these big money deer. I obviously didn't jump into it right like alot of you did but knowing you can't get no money back for years now to supplement some of the money spent is ruff. Feel like I failed. If you know me you know I live for whitetails whether it be hunting for a mature buck with my bow or raising the beautiful animals on my property. I have a hard time thinking of ever getting out of it and I don't think my wife or kids will let me. They are going to be bummed in the morning but we will see where to go from there. Thanks for any words and help you all had with these fawns.

Wow guys I really appreciate all the kind words and offers. Like I said I don't like failure and the 2am bad news got to me after I put them to sleep looking perfectly normal. I haven't really gathered my contacts yet to make it a business and still have much to learn but I do know a few guys here in sw Mn that have Farms also. I will be contacting a couple of you about future purchases. Thanks again and I hope all your guys fawning seasons start out better than mine!
