Catch the fallow does in the chute. Easy right!? You have no idea

We're into fallow deer breeding season at BRC Fallow Deer.. We are artificially inseminating our does, in order to breed to some giant fallow bucks. We spent last year hunting across the country for good genetics to bring into our herd. Step one of the artificial breeding process is inserting an implant called a CIDR, and giving the does a shot. It's always a stressful experience when dealing with a wild animal.
Step 2 and 3 to follow in the future.

i know nothing about deer. I do want to ask about the chute you use though. I understand why it's covered and all, to stop them jumping out. But why is the press so complicated? I would have thought something similar to a sheep squeeze would work a little better then this. Or is there something about Deer that makes this style better?

Great question. First of all, the wide black side doors are designed to allow antlered bucks to fit in the chute. That would be the biggest issue with using a sheep chute. This particular chute is about the 8th version of the “deer handler” it’s been purpose built for deer and is very well designed. The way the chute restrains the deer is, once they run in, we drop the floor out from under them, so their legs can’t touch the ground and jump or run. It cradles them in kind of a V shape. It doesn’t clamp down on their body or neck. Also, the entire chute is enclosed because the deer won’t walk in if they see a person standing next to it. In fact we had to tape up the gaps between the boxes because the deer would see us, and wouldn’t move forward. Thanks for watching!

After watching your video, I have a few questions: 1. How long do you keep the CIRD device in place before removing it and proceeding with artificial insemination? 2. After removing the CIRD, do you administer any hormones? 3. How can I confirm if the deer is pregnant after the insemination process? 4. Could you please share the results of your artificial insemination efforts? Specifically, how many deer became pregnant, and what was the success rate? Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Thanks for the questions. So we left cidrs in for 15 days. 14 is fine, we did 15 to line up with our ai date/time. The timing after cidr removal is very important, much more so than the exact time the cidr is in. We try to inseminate 66-68 hours after cidr removal/pmsg. There is no good way to confirm pregnancy. There have been attempts to do this, but working the does in the first trimester causes a high rate of aborts. We achieved 70% success with our AI this year! This is very high for a first time with fallow. Many farms did less than 40% this year. There are several factors that contributed to our success.
