BRC Fallow Deer

I knew that fawning season would be the best part of having a fallow deer herd. And let me tell ya….. it absolutely is! My mama heart is just overflowing with the birth of each new fawn. The excitement of waiting, searching and then discovering is beyond what I imagined it would be. Each sweet baby is unique and perfect.

I love the quality time I am spending with my own kids as we walk the deer pen daily… sometimes twice a day. I load them up in the double stroller with snacks and a bucket of feed for the deer and we go on the fawn search. My son will ask “where is baby #5?” “Is it a boy or girl?” “When will we find the next one?” “Will it be a boy or girl?” AND Oh Man when we do stumble on a fawn snuggled into the brush their eyes just light up! It’s pure JOY. “Does it have an earring?” “What number is it??” “Don’t scare it!” “Does it like us?” They are just as invested in counting the fawns and making sure they are happy, healthy and loved as much as I am! 

So when will the next one arrive? Will it be a boy or a girl? How many total fawns will we be blessed with this year? I honestly can’t wait to find out. What an amazing first fawning season it has been so far!
