I'll be looking for the response to that.

LuLu is naturally polled; the sire is not (which is good, b/c I don't want to risk hermaphrodites).

So, what are the odds, and how do we tell?

Ok talked to the lady I had bought Inga and Amron from. She said if the hair swirls around where the horns will be then they will get horns, no swirls no horns. Of course if Piper is polled I can not breed her with another polled. Lady said she had an unrelated blue eyed dehorned buck she would sell me for 200.00 oh and a doeling for 250 (ichewawa!)
So I keep staring at the kids heads LOL

I'm sure you can find a buck to service her without bringing another intact boy into your herd.

And those prices - ouch!

Hey PB ...I have never seen Scooter act that way with anyone but your husband. Scooter really really liked him...

well, I think I could have talked him into that one. not a problem, now he has no problem with mine being bred, and the original you can have 7 and when they have babies you have to sell either the babies or the older ones, dont think that is gonna be much of an issue!

Had a great visit with The A Team yesterday. Hope all are settled in nicely.

Your children are really cool people.
