Speaking of deer snorting reminds me of a recent 
story...my husband teaches K-12 music at the local rural 
school--having taught only high school suburban kids 
previously in Chicago--and was working on Old Mac Donald 
Had A Farm with the kindergarteners when he first asked 
the class what kind of animals would you find on a 
farm?--remember we are in ranchland where there are mostly 
angora goats and exotics--and a little girl piped up and 
yelled "Deer!" and going along with her suprising answer 
he asked her what kind of sound a deer makes and she very 
seriously and faithfully produced the snort and whistle of 
the imported Axis deer. We get a big kick out of singing 
this verse now.
