Default RE: Holy **** a fawn born 2 days ago?

It is unusual, but not unheard of, to have fawns born this late. I have seen nearly term fetuses in does killed in September. Ieven have a picture of twonear term fetuses, butdon't think I'llpost it.This tends to happen more often with young does. A small percentage of doe fawns will go into estrous very late, and consequently be bred very late. As has already been said, it also tends to happen more when buck to doe ratios are very skewed.
