Thanks for all the critter pics, yorkie. The deer in these pics don’t look like Mules or White Tails. What kind are they?

That is a good question, Nan. So, I called the Deer Farm, and the employee gave me the following information:

Most of them are ‘fallow deer’. They are not indigous to North America - the lady told me that most are from Europe and Asia.

The following link tells us everything we ever wanted to know about the fallow deer. (smile)
