09' Fawn Pictures

[T.R.O.]

This is a thread such as the "Bucks" one and I think it would be funny and cute to post pictures of everyones new fawns that are being born at the present. Come on!!! Lets see em!!! Who has that smallest and who has the largest???

[T.R.O.]

I had a 2yr.old Martygraw doe bred to Jessy James have her first fawning this week and she threw out triplets! 2 does and a Buck! The Smallest runt doe is #26 and then there is a middle sized doe #27 and the buck #28 is the largest. The runt isnt much bigger than her bottle but she is drinking better than the other doe that is larger. INCREDIBLE!! He is going to be a new record by the time he is 3!!

[allenb]

Here are our first ones this year. Twin does out of our white breeder buck ZEB. They were born last night around midnight, and we pulled them this evening. WE LIKE UM. Allen

[CurtisLloyd]

Allen.... don't make a mistake and tag the dog.

[allenb]

Curtis, Thats a good one.:) The color she is ,it could happen.:eek:

[Buckskin]

T.R.O. Thats pretty good spread on that buck fawn. Not to mention decent mass but I got to wonder hows that mama does feeling about this. That's got to hurt! Rick

[PaintedMeadowsBJs]

Our second doe fawned triplets today... 2 pied and 1 regular.

[allenb]

Beautiful Painted MeadowsBJs, Love those pieds. Allen

[PaintedMeadowsBJs]

I was too busy to write much earlier today, but your are great also.
I love the pieds because it's like an Easter egg hunt, you never know what you'll find in the field.I am working at great racks I have crossed them with some of the best...And Will do more of the same this year.

[Edgemoor]

First time I've had pink striped antlers.

[T.R.O.]

Rick, Yea I dont know how she did it!! Shes been walking a little funny lately. Hopefully our other does will have triplets as well!!

[B_Whitetails]

This might seem like a really dumb question this is my first time having fawns here at my farm, but what are some signs that a doe is going to have fawns? Tail sticking strait out?? Let me know. I apprciate it. Thanks

[virgil]

Were is the forum police i think we have a highjacker.

[PaintedMeadowsBJs]

We don't need the forum police...We are all adults and should play nice.:)

[PaintedMeadowsBJs]

This is the smallest of the three With a 6cc syringe.
PS ...I pulled the two smallest fawns at dark and the smallest ate 3oz colostrum the other fawn not so much at all...She just did the lock jaw thing and let it run out:(

[CurtisLloyd]

Highjacker..... isn't he out of whatyamacllits buck and a whatshisface doe? edgemoor does this mean your deer plays for the pink team?

[PaintedMeadowsBJs]

We were typing at the same time... I'll take a straw of that Curtis to put in whatshername out of who's on first.

[Edgemoor]

Curtis,
I've heard it is from the antlers growing too fast and strecthing the velvet. Doesn't seem to be the case with this buck....he's always been a little wierd.

[Droptine]

That's pretty cool looking :)

[PaintedMeadowsBJs]

I love pied antlers... I will try and get good pictures.They mostly swirl white and black...They are neat.
They can be white, pink, brown, and black.

[PaintedMeadowsBJs]

Drew,They will also start looking for a place off from the other deer... to be by themselves.

[WillPenn Whitetails]

Drew i will answer your question it is not a dumb question. best way i know, from 196 to 200 plus days i start pacing, doe start pacing fence.when bag looks plum full. i really get excited, if i see tail sticking strait out. then i go on alert.:D

DC - that's too funny. I'm with ya there, although I started pacing on about day 188.

[wvdeerman]

Looking good Allen. We had twin white bucks born Saturday Night...they are Mortons full blooded brothers. That is Morton pictured to the left scoring 168 @ 3 with a 25" inside spread. These guys are spoken for already. I have 8 more does expecting pied fawns. Expecting does bloodlines include RCM Noble, RCM AJ (daughter and grand daughter), RCM Apache (daughter and grand daughter), BAM, Ratchet, J-44. Can't go wrong with any of those when they are all bred to our piebald breeder buck Patch 175" clean 5 x 5, 21" inside.

Let me know if you get any pied bucks, I might be interested in swaping. I am always looking for a good piebald breeder.

[PaintedMeadowsBJs]

Hey Jack... Welcome I thought we lost ya in cyber space during the move,Glad to see ya made it.

[wvdeerman]

Thanks BJ. I signed up several weeks ago. I've been on here reading, just haven't posted anything before now. Hey, has the EAGLE landed? What ever happened to that thing?

[PaintedMeadowsBJs]

No... it seems gone for now.
Let's hope it stays that way:D

[ddwhitetails]

Dc wander how many of us deer farmers are pacing right now.........I know i have been for at least a week now......got one fawn to show for it so far (see below).......hey maybe one good thing might come from the pacing.......maybe I'll lose some weight......NOT.....I just eat more!!! No these girls must have known I was building a new fawning pen (see below) it gave me some extra time to get it almost completed.....got a few more touch ups to do.

[redwood_river_whitetails]

Hey Dennis....that is one nice fawn building. My fawn building is in my bedroom--next to me on the floor:D

[ikoff]

Does Randy tell anyone there is someone named "Fawn" in the bedroom?

[ddwhitetails]

thanks .....actually my fawns start out in the house too........one here at my feet as we speak!!

[kydeer]

Just wanted to say that one of my does had a buck fawn.She looked really big,so I thought she was going to have twin's,but only found one.Me and the famliy ran out of day light so we had to stop looking.I will continue the search in the morning.We are still very happy that we got one,even if that is all she had.Hillbilly

[redwood_river_whitetails]

Does Randy tell anyone there is someone named "Fawn" in the bedroom?

Too funny.....I did have a girlfriend named Fawn in college. In fact, I just seen her a couple of months ago. I told her that we were raising deer now and I bottle feed fawns....she got a kick out of that!!!:D

[ddwhitetails]

KYDeer,
Congrats on your fawn...you probably have another one around there somewhere if you think she looked big......good luck with your search in the morning!!

[allenb]

KYdeer did ya find anything this morning?

[wvdeerman]

We had these twin piebald bucks born this morning. They are from an RCM Apache doe (256") and our piebald breeder buck Patch (175"). We have 4 fawns sired by Patch so far this spring 2 whites and 2 piebalds (all 4 bucks)

[redwood_river_whitetails]

Jack-

Congrats.....those are absolutely beautiful!!!

[Droptine]

I can't wait to have some fawns of my own. We're still a few weeks away.

[Droptine]

Well, I thought we were a few weeks away, but I forgot about the 8 deer I live bred to Curly. We had our first fawns on Sunday. We got off to a good start with twin buck fawns!! Yippee! Can't wait till the A.I. babies hit the ground :)

[WillPenn Whitetails]

Nice Steve!!! Christmas came early for you... great photos of your children with the fawns. We are on day 199 and the I can't believe that the AI girls haven't gone yet... they've been huge with big bags for weeks now. They will probably all have them at once on me. Congrats brother.

[Droptine]

Michael, sounds like they're about ready to pop. I hope tonights the night :)

[WillPenn Whitetails]

They probably will all go tonight... I have an interview tomorrow that I have to leave for at 6:30am. I'll check the pens right before I leave then should be home by about 11:00 or so. Everything will probably happen all at once, but that's the way I like it... keeps me busy! Good luck on the rest of the fawns Steve.

[Arrowhead Whitetails]

Steve, our partner in Hebbronville had fawns back in March. We AI'd the other does in Dec. Looks llike your buck is off to a good start. Good luck

[ANTLER VALLEY]

Found these guys today before they could hardly stand. Twin buck fawns, MO Geronimo/grandsons of Jack the Ripper.

[alpha and omega whitetail]

This is great, ;) let me show you my first deer fawns. The first photo is of my buch fawn, the second of my doe fawn and the third photo is of the proud parent, hahahahaha :) . I bought my first bred dow at the Pittsburgh show and she had trips but one was still born, a little buck. It feels so right and exciting. I am keeping them at a friends farm and they have been so wonderful. Anyway, I wanted to share these with you and now I have 3 deer :D

[ZZ Whitetails]

Alpha, by the looks of that smile you've caught it! "Whitetails it's a disease, once you catch it, you just can't kick it" congrats! ZZ

[Split Creek]

ddwhitetails your fawning pen looks nice. Mybe a few other farmers will post pictures of the ones they use as well. I am in the process of building one myself and would like to see others before i get it complete. The more ideas the better!

[jcawhorn]

These are our first fawns ever. Only had 2 does that I had bred. One had trips the other a single! ALL GIRLS !!! Oh well, we need the does anyway .
Slate fawns and a Wildcard fawn.

[Isaac@AppleCreek]

Here are some fawn tagging photos. Hope you like them!!

[brianjames]

Heres a couple of pictures of some fawns I'm bottle raising on June 15. The kids had to stay in today because of the rain.
:-(

And, here is a link to a video of our barn with some fawns in it...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5w1H42mrG8

[Arrowhead Whitetails]

Brian, you are the man... I would be pulling my hair out. I thought 17 on the bottle was bad...lol good luck

[Antlershed]

Wow, Looks like a lot of work Brian, I am sure it is fun though. Good Luck with them all.

[kydeer]

I have 5 fawn's on the bottle and a full time job.It is about to kill me(hahaha).Brian my hat's off to you for bottle feeding that many fawn's.I am feeding Fox Valley and the fawn's look great,but I wish I could spend more time with them.Do you feed them by hand or do you have a divice you put the bottle's in.
I guess raising deer is your job from the look's of it.I hope I can get that way some day.I am jelaus(sp).Anyway,I wish you luck with all your fawn's.
P.S.I can not get enough of this deer farming stuff.Deer-aholic(sp)

[allenb]

Here are a few of our bottle feds.The ones with the casts were stomped by a mean doe.(Not mother) Casts are due to come off in one more week. Allen

[brianjames]

Hand fed! I want them tame!

[PaintedMeadowsBJs]

Wow...
Brian You have a lot of great looking fawns...Wow ...I know kydeer is jealous...but I know how much work you have and I'm not jealous of that...I wouldn't wish that craziness on anybody.
I only have 15 on the bottle with three more moms to fawn that I want to pull...Between them and tagging and shots for all the one's I left on moms, I don't know if I am coming or going some days...More power and energy to ya...Best wishes ...wow

[Rustyblaster]

Yeah, KYdeer anything found! I'm curious too!

[kydeer]

Hey Rusty, yea the doe that I found the buck fawn from; the next morning we found a doe fawn. both of my doe's had twins one doe and one buck fawn each. I have one yearling doe, that was in with a buck fawn so I don't know if she is pregnant. Also I bought a doe fawn, I have five fawns on the bottle.

[gcw matt]

I got a few pictures of some buck fawns out of the pen. I hope you like them.

[allenb]

Beautiful matt, solid and sound. Allen

[Rick]

first pic are some of our red cap fawns, Rolex, Maxbo Ranger, Maxbo Hardcore, and Jeckyl fawns, we mix replacer with our milk, not sure i will use again next yr but things are going pretty well.
Secnod pic is 2 of the same as in pic one I added this because the #10 fawn to the left is a Mabo Ranger buck fawn out of a Rocket doe, notice the light colored fore head, his sire has the exact same coloration on his head, and so does his twin brother.
3rd pic is some mothers and their fawns

[suzanne]

Oh my goodness those are some cute photos !! I really had a good laugh at the first little buck/fawn :)

[CurtisLloyd]

here is one for Issac.... this doe is all tongue

[Buckskin]

I think it's pretty neat the way the fawns will clean out seeds of the grass out of each others eyes by licking them. They don't even blink. I can't hold my eye open long enough for the eye drop to hit my eye. Rick

[KDR Whitetails]

Here are some pictures of our fawns we are bottle feeding. I enjoy sitting out on the deck and watching them play.:) I said they remind me of a basketball team running drills. The fawns will each take a corner then they start running and jumping, switching places and even jump over top of each other. A great way to relax.:o

[Bruce]

KDR,

Cute pictures. Your fawns are obviously well cared for.
Note: The exposed wire ends are a problem waiting to happen. Been there done that, didn't end well.

[Reed68]

KDR, great pics. Just wanted to let you know alittle something. I locate gas lines for Oklahoma natural gas, and that yarline relief valve may not be a good place for that fawn to lay very long. After pressure builds up that you dont use, it will release it. If you breath too much natural gas it will suffucate you without any notice. Again just looking out for others and helping, and I love when ours play and start thier running. Its like watching kittens play, its a stress reliever. Take Care, Jay

[ZZ Whitetails]

Running babies are as cute as you can get! Don't tell anybody I said that it hurts my biker image! Last year are fawns were running having a ball and jumping over each other and 2 brothers collided, Next morning 1 was dead! Cute yes but they make me nervous!! What do you do, smile and watch! ZZ

[IndependenceRanch]

Isn't it interesting how we can all look at the same pics and each see different things in them. I got the wire ends, but never even thought about the gas. Great catches Jay Don and Bruce.

[Rick]

I have posted a short video of us feeding our fawns, this is our first try at this please take a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2bmwjpDqv0

[allenb]

Good video Rick, I picked up a couple ideas. Thanks Allen

[wvdeerman]

Great video Rick,

my question is, do the fawns seem to suck a lot of air when the bottle is empty? Or do you have to be right there when it the bottle is gone?

GOOD LOOKING FAWNS !! what milk replacer do you use?

[Rick]

WV
The fawns usually walk away from bottle when empty but we are standing right there to take it away when gone

We are using red cap milk and add LOL milk replacer

Thanks for responding Allen and Jack

[Buckskin]

Nice video Rick. Your fawns look good.

[IndependenceRanch]

Hey Rick. Did you get a new toy or have you always had the video camera to go along with your love of still photography? Nice video.

[Rick]

a new toy Roger Thanks

[SayeSonsWhitetails]

One of our Buck Fawns

[redwood_river_whitetails]

I thought this was kind of cute....woke up one morning and this is how the 3 girls were laying!!

[PaintedMeadowsBJs]

A few 2009 fawn pics.
I added new to my albums, if you want to see more.

[gcw matt]

I was out in the peen taking some pictures of the bucks and couldn't resist getting some of my Fawns.
90 is the only Girl in the pen. It took me a couple of days to find her so she didn't get bottle fed.1697
93 is my favorite buck fawn. He has a very light colored coat, and loves to run. My 4 yr old son named him Speed Racer!1698
The other two needed cleaned up for the pictures.1699
