No Fawns Survive
Neither of the twin fawns born to a hind at the deer farmlet at Lincoln College last week has survived.
Mr R. Lamming, manager of the research farm, on which the farmlet is located, believes that a twin birth among deer is very unusual. The hind is one of the deer which was brought to the farmlet last July from Central Otago. The fawns were thought to have been about a month premature and to have been either stillborn or to have died almost immediately after birth. The college also had misfortune with another pregnant hind. It died just before the deer were released from the cattle yards on the research farm into the fenced farmlet last August.
