This will be my first year to have fawns. How many should I expect to get from each doe? Their average age is 4.
How many fawns should i expect

- Start date
I planned for 1.8 and then assume an additional 10% mortality each year. How does that sound?

You could always get the UNEXPECTED........... 7 does 1st and second time mothers gave us 21 fawns plus 1 doe fawn gave us 3 buck fawns so even the best of plans CAN change! Good Luck........I'm always like a kid at christmas!

in my 3 years of fawning seasons with 3-4 does a year bred, i only got a single once, triplets once, twins on every other occasion.
The big question is how many buck fawns will you have, and how many will survive.
My first two years I had all doe fawns, but eventually it evened out to about 50/50.
Good luck.
