Just wondering I have 3 adult does that should be bred. Not one has started to even bag yet. All were live bred. Just wondering if anyone around sw PA is seeing the same thing with live breedings. Last year I had one doe fawn and she had them june 14th but i bought here bred and she missed AI and caught the back up buck.
 
we should be 50% by now.... only two does have fawned one on the 15th and one yesterday ( d&b 9.25 lbs) 26 left to go
 
Im waiting for a live bred doe here in northeast PA. she getting round but not bagged up yet. My ai doe gave me gambler triplets 3 days ago.
 
Jared still waiting here too......mine all look like there ready to pop any day now.....but i said that last week and the week before too!:eek:
 
I am in central PA and i am still waiting. I have one doe had twins, buck and doe, one doe is about half way bagged up, and the others are not even bagged up yet. All does were live covered. Good Luck guys!
 
Im in central PA too, I had one doe that I bought bred from another part of the state, she had a buck fawn on the 18th, my 6 does which are all live bred havent even bagged up yet.
 
I am in N.Oklahoma and live bred also and have only one doe fawn so far,Last year our first one dropped on April 28.Its nice to know that its not just me.They all are very big and ready to pop any day.Ive been thinking that for 2 weeks now.
 
finally had our first fawns this morning 2 apollo13 buck fawns!! more to come soon I hope. they have been looking like they could bust at anytime
 
i had a fawn last year in october, what a mess that was, i had my does away this year as i was not gonna have fawns this year but mid december my tame 4 year old had other plans and tore the fence down and got to her anyway, looks like real late fawns for me again, i will tell dc to come feed them for me, you can talk him in to anything
 
Hey Dc maybe your hoe doe will drop you early Christmas presents if late activity was what stuck. That would be something having fawns so late in the year it messes up your breeding schedule for the fall.
 
Has anyone in PA who replied earlier got any that are looking closer yet? Mine still look like they'll be at least another week or possibly 2-3 weeks. They finally started getting noticably bigger bellies this past week. No big udders yet though. Whats weird is we're seeing wild fawns and other farmer near the area have had fawns for weeks now, mine seem way behind.
 
Antlershed, here we have not had any activity. Our does were live bred to BM Bismark and are starting to get fat right in front of the back legs and one doe has a small bag. Other than that i am guessing another 2-3 weeks, even four i dont know. time will only tell! Good Luck!!!!
 
My first natural was March 13th...I do have a few stragglers that haven't fawned yet... but I even had a Fallow Fawn yesterday...That is the earliest ever since 1995...only beat by two days but still earliest...
 
does anyone know what the date the buck bred the doe if so you can get apretty good idea by figuring a 196 day gestation period just wondering ? hope you get fawns soon good luck W/S " JUST LIVIN THE DREAM "
 
I had two does that got bred within 30 minutes of introducing the buck into their pen on November 1st. The first one came in on May 15th and the second May 17th. That would be 195 days and 197 days.
 
I have three fallow does and 1 sika doe yet to fawn and they are running late as well, so it is a wait and see thing EVERY day, they are all bagged up but nothing other than one sika fawned last week but they are running late as to the norm
