Oh the white one has a straighter back & chunkier thighs & rear. All DD15 keeps saying is they are so fat!!!! Weather suppose to be nice next wk, hopefully I will be able to get lots of good pics as they learn their way around the farm.

Okay - so you purchased both, right?

(Ooooh, I feel a teaching moment coming on!)

How about you let them grow up a little more - evaluate them about every 2 weeks (don't forget the hands on and the watching them walk bit!) and pictures (if you are so inclined) and at the end see which one is the better one. This will help you learn to get a critical eye for future kids including your own and leave your options open for choosing the best buck of the two.

Should be an interesting exercise...

I will be watching them closely, personality will also play a role. My last buck was mean as snot & if I can avoid a repeat I would be thrilled.
