Got a Buck Today :)
I decided to get a buck instead of carting the girls off to be bred. They REALLY like each other

He's a cutie. And you're right - they seem smitten.
He looks young...how old is he?
And what is that white stuff on the ground???

Hazy, how can you tell the new buck hooves need a trim? It's standing in the snow. You must have a better angle than me, we'll I guess you would living up north and all. I do agree the wether could use a trim...Just funnin with ya Hazy, have a good weekend...TJ

The wether really needs one, but I seen see that the buck could use one at the same time. We have a 22" screen, so I can see what most don't! Our screen is the same size a most of our tvs!

Does help I have lived in snowy winters for the past 16 years!

Yes...they both need a good hoof trim. I didn't want to stress them out on their first day here. They seem to be fitting in very well and I'm enjoying the interaction between the buck and Shiloh. He hasn't shown any interest in my other two girls yet.

And that white stuff...well...it needs to go away for awhile LOL.

Ditto that! Those 6 inches were not pleasant!

Glad you were able to find a buck. He definitely isn't shy with the ladies, huh?
