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)

Thanks for calling the Deer Farm, yorkie. That was beyond the line of duty. I thought they were Fallow Deer but knew they were not native to America. Wonder how they got here? Very good swimmers? They fly? Walk on water? LOL.
