Deer Farm

I only recently found out that my friend/high school seminary teacher and her husband had started a new business venture of raising deer. They don’t normally do ‘tours’ of their facilities, but since Mrs. Deason is so sweet, she let us join her on one of her daily trips to the deer farm to feed all the deer.

(Layton is crying in this picture because I walked away from to take a picture. He is so ridiculous sometimes!) The highlight of the visit was getting to feed the little baby deer Mrs. Deason affectionately calls “Pie” after his piebald coloring.

Isn’t he beautiful?

Dallin just jumped right in and started feeding him.

Mandy was a little scared, but we eventually did coax her over to feed him too.

Boy could that deer guzzle down a bottle!

Layton was pretty unsure at first as well.

But he soon warmed up to him and loved Pie. Pie followed us around as Mrs. Deason fed all the other deer. He is just so cute!

After riding around for a while, looking at all the different deer at different stages of development, we went into their large natural holding area where the deer just roamed all over. We came across a couple of bucks fighting.

Another romping in a field.

And then we saw him. The big elk.

Isn’t he magnificent?

It was a lovely afternoon. We even got to enjoy a beautiful sunset. Thanks Mrs. Deason!
