Just wondering how many babies everyone has ? And any left to go ?



We currently have 17 babies on the bottle and 16 buck fawns out in the pen

We have 22 fawns our last doe just had 4 fawns and she was live bred.

22 fawns 9 bucks and the rest are does. 3 more does to go.

Had around 300 fawns so far and still a few more to go. So far haven't had to bottle feed any. Whew!

14 on the bottle 7 bucks and 7 does. 2 more to fawn out and 4 more to get home from PA.. Looks like things are going to be pretty even in the *** dept.

7 does and 12 bucks and all done fawning

22 bucks and 21 does with about a 10 does left to fawn.

44 total a few more to go. I was curious to those who are bottle feeding, why bottle feed the bucks unless you must?

15 fawns here with 6 more out of sold does. looks like my "old faithful" girl is still cooking a couple in her!



Out of all does bred to Rolling Timber 77% buck fawns!

hey guys

i ( along with my wife) are bottle feeding 3 doe fawns, 20/28,sudden explosion,sundowner. seems like they are more aggresive this year, just about mob us when we feed! only my 2nd go at this. have a couple buck fawns on their mothers. one doe left, man is she BIG bellied, got to have at least three coming! i tell my wife every week she has to fawn this week, but as of yet, she is a no go. so this week i am claiming that she will not fawn out, maybe that will work!

Small area. Busy highways. Need to be able to deal with them easy. Runways not finished yet. When they are done there will be no more bucks on the bottle. Just have to respect them for what they are in the fall. Bottled or not!!!

6 boys and 6 girls so far

6 bucks and 3 does. 30 does left to fawn.



We bred most on Dec 6th so any day now.

I hate having deer that arent bottle fed. Bucks and does. They are easier to move and run through the facility. And when we put deer in the preserve the bottle feds are most often more wild in a couple days then the deer that we purchase that are not bottle fed. Dont know why but thats what I have found.



Why would you want deer that are not bottle fed? I love that my bucks come up and I can touch their points and check them over every day to make sure nothing is wrong. Looking through binoculars at bucks just isnt the same.



Just my thoughts

Well Matt I love bottle Feds too.....however, there are a lot of good reasons NOT to have bottle Feds.......I have to disagree with you on the bottle Feds being easier to run through and handle in the chute systems....my experience has been just the opposite.......my bottle Feds no what is going on and the last thing they want to do is run through the chute system....so this being said they have no fear of humans and they pretty much do what they want......they make things so much harder for me anyhow.........bucks that are bottle fed are 100 % more likely to gore you come fall and if you live to tell about it I'm certain you will have many scars to show someone........I know where your coming from with this Matt.....I bought many of my deer from Rod and Diane Miller and love them dearly.......but I am finding out that if your in your pens a lot and messin around the deer they will tame up enough that they won't be nervous fence crashers....this is the main thing you want in my opinion......now I have plenty of bottle raised deer both buck and doe cause I started out bottle feeding everything......but through years of doing it I think mother raised fawns especially buck are much healthier.......and less likely to be deadly to humans .......now this being said.....I will always have a few doe and buck that you can pet on the farm and that's just because I like it that way.......but come fall.....the only thing I enter the pen with to feed or anything else for that matter is my skid loader.........trust me....those bucks can seem tame as a dog one second....add a little testosterone and they are killers.......just my opinion........hope this helps.....
