Got my buck for this year

Well, I finally bought my buck for this years breeding. Didn't have the money last month. He's a two year old boer, no papers or such. Gave $120 for him, which is more than he might be worth, but... I was looking at a better buck for about the same money, but he was a holy terror, and the buck I bought was super gentle, so I traded some size for gentleness.

I'll try to get some photos tonight so I can have yalls opinion on him.

Well here are some photos. I can't really tell how good they are... Either my video card or my monitor has started to give out, and I cannot control the brightness of the screen anymore.

Of course he was too busy trying to do his job to pose for photos, so I doubt these are the greatest, but please give me your opinion of my buck. I do not aim to show, but to remove brush, add meat to the freezer, and perhaps sell one or two kids next year.
