winter

I was curious about watering in the winter when there is snow available for deer. I have been watering my deer, but notice they don't even bother to drink. I'm wondering if they get enough water from eating snow? I have seen them eating snow quite regularly.

I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas how to keep water tanks from freezing during the winter months without electricity?  I'm in Wisconsin and as you all know the winters get very cold.  I'm looking for propane or other options that folks may have for keeping my water tanks open during...

HELP! my 3 month old fawn is losing all his hair & winter is coming. I found him 3 months ago caught in a barbed wire fence, almost dead at about 4 days old.  This is my first care of  a fawn & so am not experienced at this at all.  I am wondering if the hair loss is due to something I am...

Not related to cervid farming but you guys may be able to help. Im trying to age deer in trail camera pictures and tell if a buck will be 1.5 this fall or 2.5. Originally i assumed all of last years fawns will be the same size they were last fall, is this true? If i see a deer that is the size...

What are y'all's opinions on the protein levels deer require during the fall and winter time? Thanks

Is anyone else sick of winter already? Here in PA there is a bounty out on the groundhogs head LOL......but he is pretty much as accurate as any other weatherman out there........this Winter Storm is going to be a real pain ......

Wondering who all is going to the upcoming Iowa banquet? We are going and would love to meet some of the folks we have spoken with on the phone, you have all been very helpful, and we look forward to meeting and chatting in person. See you there. Mike

I hope all the farms are doing ok despite mother nature

My 1 1/2 year old is shedding - not bad, but still - she is shedding. Could it be a lack of vitamins/minerals in her diet? My oldest - 3 1/2 years old - eats the same type of feed and she is not shedding. I just want to make sure this is normal for her. Like I stated before, she is not...
