Bucks are big ole nasty creatures, who maybe get shaved once a year, few are ever shown, fewer are appraised. They are not purchased because they are handsome, long, dairy, etc...they are purchased because they conform to breed standard and were in my herd deposited sometimes before the actual mating takes place. They come from the best does you drool over for years, bred to a son of another drop dead gorgeous doe, he is only kept if his daughters turn into what you want, not because of his show or appraisal scores, if his daughters don't do what you want of them they are sold...period. So who really cares what a walking semen storage tank looks like? Some are lucky that their semen storage tank is all bright and shiney (my GE is that way) others like Winn are scratched and dented but still hold nitrogen and straws of semen
I actually do have and in rut photo of GE, I should have just taken it with him on his breeding leash he doesn't then lean against me! But photos of them will be candid on the website in progress. Unless I can talk someone into trying to pose 200+ pounds of lover trying to rub on you if you hold his collar! Vicki
