Oh, dear! That's dreadful!
@ Fishhead: You're right; it takes a pretty sturdy person to lift a full grown doe. Unless, of course, the doe was a smaller breed, or the fence is a short one.
I don't recall what breed(s) they have at Fias Co Farm, but I do know that they take VERY good care of their livestock.
