    About this ebook

    My book traces the life of a newborn fawn born on a deer farm from the fawns perspective. It starts out from his birth with his twin sister and tells how he is changed from a wild deer to a tame deer. Farmer Joe bottle feeds and loves the fawn very much and takes over being a mother figure for the fawn. Next the fawn is introduced to real deer feed (corn, oats, molasses, and vitamins). He still is bottle-fed for at least four months and has a lot of special attention and love. As the fawn grows and loses his beautiful spots, he develops his first set of antlers. The book describes how every year he will lose his antlers and grow new ones even bigger. A lot of DEER terms are used in the book to educate the young reader to the life of a deer and how he develops, such as buck, doe, antler, button buck, deer velvet, points, tines, etc. The photographs in the book are the actual pictures taken on our deer farm.

    Author

    Karen Shellhaas

    I am a retired elementary classroom teacher having taught sixth grade language arts. I live on a whitetail deer farm with my husband Doug. We bottle-feed our fawns and really enjoy the raising of our deer. My husband, as I refer to in the book as "Farmer Joe" does a lot of the work and I help as much as I can. We also raise Great Pyrenees dogs which are great protectors of our deer. I have raised two grown sons and they were the reason we got into the deer raising business years ago. They enjoy them, along with their wives and my five wonderful grandchildren. They love to hand feed them and name each one. We are a "DEER" loving family. That's for sure!!!
