no, they should be separated The reason the should be separated is not because your buck would intentionally hurt the kid (although he may) but because the baby could be inadverantly stepped on. There should be as few feet and hoofs as possible
A newly formed canyon, mountain range, or lake can seperate individuals.
Common sense would be to keep the 'spare' male separated to prevent any possible "male dominance" thing from happening.
It's a very bad idea. The male will continually bother and harrass the female and even sometimes manage to mount and succeed, whether you THINK she's in estrus or not.
Weaning is when you take the young animal away from its mother so that she stops feeding the young with her milk. It is a natural process that can be seen even in domesticated cats and dogs. Weaning and refusal to nurse maturing youngsters causes the menstrual cycle to start again and she can either be bred again if she's breeding stock, or she can be used for work if it's a horse or dog. ALL animals do this naturally, but some animals are separated by humans to speed up the process a little. (Note: Weaning too early, however, can adversely affect young babies.) Weaning is possible when other milk supplies such as separated milk are available or when a young animal stops relying on milk and starts eating a diet of solid foods. Note: The same explanation applies to human babies and mothers. Even if bottle-fed, all babies go through weaning. If fed an adequate in-between mixture of soft foods leading to an diet of solid foods, weaning proceeds fairly easily.

The possible explanation of an observation is a hypothesis.
The continental drift theory was strengthened by several discoveries of similar species on widely separated continents. The basic idea was that if Continent A, say, Africa, had a fossil of a certain worm on its west coast, while Continent B, South America, had a fossil of the same worm on its eastern coast, it would only make sense that at one time these continents had to be joined to allow for this species to flourish in both areas at once. The only other possible explanation would be that the worms swam across the ocean...which isn't exactly feasible considering that they are, in fact, worms.
A possible explanation is called a hypothesis.
