There is always something fascinating happening at the farm. In mid-spring bucks shed their buttons or antlers.
All animals shed their winter coats to reveal the beautiful spotted summer coats.
In late spring bucks begin new antler growth, called velvet. Fawns are born in late June. In August bucks begin to shed their velvet. The hard antler is cut for protection before bucks start testing for dominance. Soon the change over to winter fur begins.
