Welcome to the forum!
Is your confusion because there is no plural for for "deer" in English?
In Spanish one deer is "venado" and more than one deer is "los venados". In fact, the Mexican town of Mazatlan has a baseball team called "los Venados".
I hope this helps!
Muchisimas gracias, Ken.
I never knew there was another word for deer!
Now, at last, I can stop being embarrassed by calling cattle venado and deer ganado.
I live in an area where there are hundreds of both critters, and I do know the difference!
Anyway, from now on it's cierva!
(Do you have any tips to keep me from asking, ¿Quiere una torta jabón?)
Deer in spanish is cierva so the plural is ciervas, just add an s to nouns that end with a vowel.
las ciervas
I believe the Bible use the word ciervo. I remember in Costa Rica in Cartago a reading from it, something like: Como el ciervo busca para las aguas corrientes, mi corazón busca para tí.
Please correct me if I am incorrect

Yep!
Salmo 42:1 - Como la cierva que ansía las corrientes de agua, así mi alma misma te ansía, oh Dios.
Here is another example:
Isaías 35:6 - En aquel tiempo el cojo trepará justamente como lo hace el ciervo, y la lengua del mudo clamará con alegría. Pues en el desierto habrán brotado aguas, y torrentes en la llanura desértica.
you just say deer and then és before it.
