Herds of deer are kept on some farms; their meat is called venison.
The male deer (a buck) has antlers which he uses to fight the other bucks during breeding season. The female deer (a doe) gives birth to her calf in late spring. A baby deer drinks its mother’s milk until the autumn, then grazes on grass like the adults.
Farmers who keep deer have to build extra tall fences as deer can leap up very high, jump out and run away.
Occasionally in the countryside you may see deer that have escaped from parks. These deer live and breed very successfully in the wild, but they soon become a nuisance as they feed on farmer’s valuable crops and venture into gardens and eat the flowers and vegetables.
