I am a science teacher from Colorado. I was trying to come up with a lab about the heredity of fallow deer color. It is starting to be apparent that no one really knows the answer to the question. That being said I think I will have my students try and figure it out. What I really need is data! Do any of you have any pens where you have only one buck per doe? If so I could use anything you have on parent and offspring color. Thanks for you time!

Chris,
If you have not yet done so, contact the North American Deer Farmers Association at http://www.nadefa.com
They may be able to help you with research contacts and some of their members have fallow deer.
Another place I would check is the New Zealand Deer Farmers Association at http://www.nzgib.org.nz/n41.html They have been doing lots of deer related research for decades and might have something related.
Best of success with your research.

Chris let me know what you need and I will see what I can do.
Do you want one chocholate buck on one white doe or spotted then swiched around in the next pen or what?

Hello! I have Fallow deer and I'm extremely interested in this as well! I have a small herd, one buck, 6 does, the '07 fawn crop of 3 bucklings, the '08 crop of 4 does and the expected crop of '09. We plan to harvest the 3 bucks soon.
Can I help in any way?

Chris,
I have one fallow spotted buck, one white doe, and one chocolate doe. Both does are pregnant from the spotted buck. I don't anything about each one's background. Perhaps we can share info.
