Youth Tagging Fawns

[Isaac@AppleCreek]

Happy Memorial Weekendhttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3557152786_3d9eb5e63b_o.jpg . My sister and I got up at 5:30 am.:eek: We tagged 5 fawns, two were hypothermic,:( we put them in our ''home made" hot boxes with hair dryers. There now back up to temperature, and ready for bottle-feeding.:D This sure beats Saturday morning cartoons and video games.;) Here is our fawn protocol at birth we use at Applecreek.

• Take Temperature- Put lube on thermometer, Temp should be around 101 but if temp is below 100 bring in building! Follow the hypothermic fawn protocol.
• E-Coli- 2cc given orally(in mouth) at birth (keep refrigerated, but get to room temp before giving to fawn)
• Bo-Se injection- .5 cc Sub- Q(under skin-by the hind quarters are good injection sites)-Use 20G x ½” needle
• Vitamin B Complex injection- 1cc Sub-Q ( under skin-front shoulder or neck are good injection sites) Use 20G x ½ “ needle
• Alpha-7 injection- 2cc injection Sub-Q( under skin- front shoulder or neck are good injection sites) Use 20G x ½” needle.
• Micro-chip- Insert underneath side of the tail. Place sticker on record sheet or save it to enter into GMS
• Ear Tag- right ear ( Blue=Boys, Red= Girls) Always use consecutive numbers.
• DNA(Pull white hair off of tail).
• Picture- make sure ear tag is included
• Enter information into GMS Field Master

Never give multiple injections in the same area.


Here are some photos of our morning at Applecreek

Isaac some would think wearing an Apple Creek hat would be advertising for their compatition but I don`t see it that way. Apple Creek has some great animals and have done it in not too many years. I`ll wear your hat proudly. Thank You.

I would be proud to wear an Apple Creek hat. This business everyone is there to help each other and not screw anyone over. Really we are not competing, we are helping each other get to the top. I know we have an excavating business and it is horable. People will bid a job $500 less just to get the work. Its a shame. The deer business is the best.

Iaasic if this c,mon out your paycheck, let Mitch know he will surely cover it for us! Dc

[Isaac@AppleCreek]

No, it is not coming out of my paycheck, It is our pleasure at Applecreek to share hats with you. It is my job to help promote the genetics at Applecreek and to share the technics our team has developed in raising whitetails.
Keep listing your hat request. I am sending out the first batch on tuesday.

Talk about two future spokespeople for the deer industry!! They can truly say they were involved their entire life. It's obvious that there is mutual beneficial relationship between deer and their caretakers. Keep up the good work kids!!

God bless you!

Thank you Isaac and Apple Creekwhitetail`s for the hat. I took it out in the pens and rubbed it all over the boys head`s. Just incase there is a little Ju Ju that might rub off.
