These guys are just huge. I'm so impressed with the builds on them. At one week the little buckling is already getting heavy to pick up. I have to find that danged weight tape, but I read somewhere it's not as accurate on the meat breeds as it's made to judge the dairy weights. I really doubt I'd get him to sit still in my hanging scale, lol. The little doeling I'm keeping to show this year. I really think she's amazing. Hoping to find a commercial breeder who wants a really great buck that will put meat on their kids as a home for the little guy (we call him Bubba). He's not registered (he is Boer) but I just couldn't bring myself to put a band on him. He's gonna be massive like his daddy.
Bubba at 1 wk (Now he's super friendly, and was under my feet the whole time I was trying to take pictures just about, but if I moved away to get a shot, he'd turn his head as if to say if you won't play with me, I won't look at you, lol, stinker).
Man the chest on him is just like his dad, here's a pic of Mickey his sire (registered fullblood)
And here is my show doeling for this year (plus one of the ones born yesterday I think if she looks as good as I think she will)
Her name is going to be Country Havens Lucky Punch
Here they are together, doeling on the left, buckling on the right (yep, still won't look at me if I won't play with him, lol, brat)
Thanks for looking, I'm just so happy with the way things have gone so far this year. The other two batches born yesterday and the day before are doing great. I hope to get out and get the LaBoer pics later on, have to wait for DS to get home though, because I have to drive him and am waiting for his call. The cell phone doesn't work in the big barn.
Congratulations!
