Joe's busy getting the pastures rotated and reseeded....anxiously awaiting those spring whitetail fawns. We've upgraded our feeders to cut down on waste and have tweeked the feed mixture....looking for some great antlers this year! I'll work on getting some updated photos as soon as the new growth starts.
The Axis of course birth year round and that has been our ongoing challenge with the fawns and cold weather. With the expanded barn, we thought we had things pretty well in hand and didn't lose as many winter fawns as in the past...we did catch one doe fawn starting to show signs of stress with the cold and get her started on a bottle. She has been sold to Linda Vermules to add to her herd of bottle raised Axis...Thanks! We've had a few that the new barn setup have saved throughout the winter, but are still working on better "heated" creep areas for the fawns to not get trompled.
The fallow are enjoying the weather and it's fun to watch them romp.
