On the subject of fawns. Learned of another hazard this year. Good to always be opening to learning new things. Found this out through my son's goats after he lost several this year.

On years such as these, when we have non stop rain, the parasites that usually live in the earth, tend to migrate further up plants that animals eat to get out of the water. Hence grazing/browsing animals tend to ingest more, and are more prone to anemia, infection, bowel issues. Having good minerals is one of the things we can do to distress the animals from this parasite. Make sure they are at full potential for producing red blood cells lost or immunity up to fight infection, caused by parasites.
