Adorable baby and deer! I looked up a pic of a buck, and they are very pretty. Are you worried about the deer spreading diseases and parasites?

Honestly, I've never thought about that. Guess I better start doing some research on that. So far, in the 6 years we've had the deer, they've never left our place. Guess I've been lucky, but so far the only health issues I've had was a case of pink eye.

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.

Wow, really? That is so neat!! With the exception of wildlife rescues, I've not heard of people keeping a deer before. Well, other than the time when I was very young and we went to a tree farm that had a small herd of deer that we could feed. So, does that mean you can just purchase a fallow deer from whoever has one for sale...or do they sell them?

Thanks for sharing and your baby goat is just adorable! Love how little the minis are when born.

Yes, occasionally you can find them for sale. I've found several people that have them.
