These fawns still have spot so when do you think their mom was bread? That would be a late rut right?
Thanks.

Make a guess on when they were born then count back 201 days. Will get you ballpark.

There are always late born fawns. Sometimes it's a doe that just didn't take during the rut. Sometimes it an early bloomer fawn that comes in heat before her 1st birthday. Bucks can breed does any time of the year if the doe is receptive.
I've saw spotted fawns in November and December.

Why yes somewhere down the line. On a serious note though we still have them around here with spots. I think our dough numbers are so high it takes the boys a long time to get to them all.

Even in the healthiest herds, some fawns are born late. It is usually due to female fawns sexually maturing as fawns being bred late in the season. I've seen herds in TN where 30% of female fawns breed. In Midwestern herds, as much as 80%.
