The doe had twin fawns, and the other fawn came trotting by all by itself.

I haven't been able to visit the farm for several months due health but my son tells me that, in spite of the drought we have a good fawn crop at 0ur place West of Abilene.......now if the darn hogs don't eat them.

Not exactly.  It is the Capsule Feeder.  Hog proof, holds from 500# to 1000# of feed.  It is in a hard to reach location so not having to refill it very often, and not having to try to build a feeder pen to keep hogs away have made it worth the money so far.

A little late, but thanks for sharing.  From a desk jockey that hasn't gotten away.
