milk

Recently had to start bottle feeding an about 3-4 week old fawn (Something broke in and killed mother/attacked the fawn, and she was our only doe since we are very new to this) The fawn is fine, however he won't drink the calf milk replacer we've tried with him, or goat milk. He will drink...

Hey everyone, hopefully this isn't a dumb question. I work all day and can't be home to feed every 4 or 6 hrs. If I give fawns red cap milk how long will that hold them over? Any suggestions for this dilemma?

I was told that Sportsman's Choice is coming out with a milk replacer formula but I can't find a whole lot of information on it. Has anybody tried this yet? Would love to have some customer reviews.

I was asked if there would be an interest at fawning time, for raw goat milk? 11 cents an ounce. Thanks!

Alright guys I know everyone has different ideas on what fawn replacer to use but I have heard from a few people now that they just use Vitamin D milk that you would pick up at your local grocery store. What's everyone's thought one that and what does everyone use and/or recommend?

Hello everyone,    I am a newbie of sorts, having not bottle fed in 15 years or so. The drill has changed a bit from back in the day and there have been many improvements. Like active forums for one!! My question is mostly directed to any of you that feed Redcap milk to your fawns from the...

I have a 45lb box of replacer i'm not going to use. rather than send it back and eat the shipping charge i would rather pass the savings on to my one of my fellow deer farmers. I will sell it for $175 YOU PAY SHIPPING. this deal will save someone $25

Looking for a phone number for Len at River City fawn milk.  I just can't find it in my files.  Thanks to who ever put it's up for me.

Anybody out there ever freeze their red cap milk before feeding it to your fawns?  Sam's Club is the cheapest source I can find but the closest one is 70 miles away.  I would need to buy large quantities and freeze it if that will work. What are your thoughts? Thanks....Bill

I work for the county and the budget won't allow for me to bottle feed all these late fawns on red cap milk. I need to know what formula through PBS Animal Health I can use with the least amount of problems. I have the Grade A Ultra here but my local wildlife rehaber said she thinks that gives...

We just had the tiniest triplets born to a momma who while loving on them appears to have no milk sack. Does the milk sack ever come in after birth? They are not crying although trying to suckle. Advice? Do we wait a few hours and pull them for colostrum if nothing happens? Anyone have this...

Is it ok to just feed straight Red Cap milk to fawns? I am just wondering if they will get enough of whatever they need from just straight milk? I had my first doe fawn 3 days ago. It took her 26 hours to take the first bottle. but now she seems ok with it. Ive feed her 4 times( one day now)...

Yet another question! As fawn season is approaching (no fawns just yet though) we decided to switch from using whole milk, like we did last year, to using milk replacer as it was cheaper, Save-A-Caf Ultra 24 multi-species milk replacer is what we purchased. I know, I know, cheaper is not always...

We built this electric milk heater that brings it right up to the set temp and now Im looking for a nipple that can hook up to a hose so I can plug it into my tank any ideas Thanks Ed

Has anyone had a doe that did not have any milk ? i have a doe that i was watching , waiting for here to fawn i could never see her drop a bag . she never really looked like she was even bread , but she dropped a large buck fawn , and a very tinny doe fawn . still no milk bag that i could see. i...

Is there a schedule for increasing a fawn's milk intake as it grows. Right now our fawn is 10 days old getting 4oz of land o lakes goat replacer cut 50%. feeding her every three - 4 hours. Giving her some electrolytes as well. Vitamin pro biotics too. She full of spunk and seems to be doing...

I am tired of the price of buying red cap milk for feeding fawns so I am looking to get a dairy cow for this fawning season and because I have 5 kids that love milk, but anyways is there any rules with using the milk right out of the cow or do i need to heat it or what? any info would be appreciated

What brand of milk replacer will everyone be using this spring? What kind of results have you had using that brand?

Does anyone have advise about bottle raising 2012 whitetail fawns with goat's milk? I am entertaining the idea, but not sure to go with milk replacers or goat's milk. Have experience bottle rearing hoofstock like reindeer calves, goat kids, nilgai, zebra foals, beef cattle, bison and others...
