By the way yes she could've been mated by a ram A friend of mine lived in the middle of woodland and one year had a couple of really wierd fawny yellow kids abhorted...she'd been very happy to see a deer buck running in the field chasing them around a few months before

can that really happen?

Yes it could- but it is almost unheard of for the offspring to actually be born. The pregnancy tends to either be reabsorbed, or the foetus's aborted.

So, YG, how is your girl? Has she been scanned?

yankieGirl · « **Reply #19 on:** July 24, 2011, 08:05:33 pm »

No scan. I am just going to let time tell and the new 2 month old buck I just bought eventually let me know.

I know you are correct about the scan telling me for sure but I can't justify the expense. I'm just a hobby farmer.

It would be another story if this were my livelihood.
