My sweethearts

These are two of my boys. The big one is my registered Angora buck Awesome and the smaller is my Boer buck Dudley. They're my babies.

They're funny. We let them out to "mow the lawn" and they spend most of their time laying around on the porch with the dogs. LOL

Awe! I'm jealous, my buck stinks too much for me to snuggle with! They are beautiful boys.

Wow do they smell really bad in rut??? All that hair coated with pee! It's bad my buck is growing a little hair and starting a beard. But I told him NO smell so it gets clipped off!

Awesome is just starting to smell bucky, but I really don't mind the smell.

Welllll, if you don't like your neighbors I guess that could be a good thing.

I can't smell them unless I get right up next to them. I've never been able to smell someone's buck from a distance.
But our nearest neighbor is a 1/4 mile down the road and on the other side of the road.

Well I don't mind these ones. No parties,dogs,loud music. Just peaceful country living. But when their is a doe in heat. PEACEFUL is the last word that comes to mind! :baby04: I can buck very good. When I got for a bike ride and back. As soon as I get up the drive way I can smell a very very light bucky smell. But hey if im gonna keep goats, thats just one thing involed! Or I could do IA. But don't have $50.00 a month to spend on keeping them alive! and don't you need a buck anyways?????
