Critique, Please

[Rogo]

Stadiumjumper has asked me to post this. It was all done by e-mail, so I hope it's right! If not, hopefully SJ will jump in.

Here he is, 'Wag.' Mother is a guess who breed, father is 100% Boer. Critique, please.

What purpose would he be used for? He looks like he has a good deal of dairy blood, is open at the elbow, rear legs are not what I like to see in my herd, but they could certainly be worse. His loin is a tad high but actually better than a lot of Boers I have seen. Back is level enough to be functional.

I think if I had to pick one thing that I just do not like about him, it woudl be those rear legs, but I'm sort of anal that way.

I don't mean to sound too critical- my POV is that it's better to pick an animal apart *before* you buy it, than to regret the purchase years later, or worse yet, to see the faults perpetuated in nearly every kid sired by a buck.

well he is going to be used as a herd sire, and he was standing rather funny in that picture. that is his mother behind him, she is SUCH an easy keeper! Rogo thank you very much for doing that, and i really am happy that he finally got critiqued!! i am going to go take a picture of his dam and try to post it so yall can hopefully figure out what kind she is! well gotta go, SJ
