Got the Avatar pic up, but when I try to download the pic of the deer, it says it is too big for the server. I'll try again later. Thanks everyone
Wow, you can have deer as pets?

Raising grandchildren up in a farming environment is so wonderful, he looks like he is enjoying the little doeling too!

Very cool! I did put my cursor over the pic and it made a real nice full size pic... you can really see just how pretty they are. Really neat to see the goats and the deer together!
:) Love the little one with all the spots! I am jealous of the green grass. So I know your thread is about your new little baby doeling but I think we are all fascinated by the deer. :p So how do you take care of them? Anything special?

We have a Callie too! She is the anatolian in my avatar. :D

BTW- glad you got the pic up! :thumbsup

No special care at all. They eat the same things the goats do. They all share the same pasture. We got Callie when she was a tiny baby. We kept her in the house (wearing diapers) for several weeks. Moved her into the back yard for another 2 months, then into the pasture. That was 6 years ago. We don't have the tall fences, but they've never even tried to jump out. We ended up getting another 3 fallow doe as company for her, but gave two of them away to some friends. They now have a fallow buck that we are going to take Callie to for a "visit" She is the sweetest thing ever, loves everyone, loves pulling on shoe laces to untie your shoes, & taking things out of your pocket. The neighbors bring over melons, carrots, etc. for her. She is the hit of the neighborhood! Here is Texas, you can keep Fallows, no permit needed of any kind.

I wish we could have those in Oregon. I'm not sure but I think they are not allowing exotics in my state anymore.
