How long from when a fawn is born until it is okay to transport that fawn to another farm? Thanks!

Joe - people bring me fawns that I am bottle raising between 12-36 hours old, and sooner if there is a problem. If you are moving the fawns and the momma together, I would say as soon as they find their legs good, maybe a few days. I guess it depends on how far you are moving them and why.

Thank you so much for all of your advice. We are brand new to the deer farming business. We will be getting our first deer, a doe fawn this spring and we are bringing the fawn to a farm closer to us (a three hour trip, in all). What should the process look like, from when the fawn is dropped until she is moved? Should she be given shots? All help is appreciated.
Scott, thanks for the kind words and for checking out our website. We have been blessed by our relationship with the Walk family (all of them, from oldest to youngest). And we are blessed to be able to fight the good fight and minister the way in which God has called us.
Have a God day!
