It went over so well last year (pic)
That hubby thought it was worth doing again.
I got a smelly buck for mother's day.
as some of you know, last year I raised a rejected bottle kid then went and got her 2 other goats. The kid was sooo vocal that not long after I weaned her I sold her and the young buck kid that hubby got me for mother's day. I LOVED the buck but the kid need company so we baned him and he went with the kid. The doe wouldn't breed so we sold her as a companion goat.
well this year I needed a small bit of land cleared of wild blackberry and brush and I guess hubby thought this was a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
His named is Captain Kerk and he seems to like the PBP ok for now
So what do you think?

I do like him =)
hubby has a way of picking a good animal. I called the breeder and got a bit more info. His sire was a big red boer buck that came though a boer goat auction in NC. The was no papers with him and the breeder only breeds to supply the ethic buyers around here so wasn't interested in them anyways. His dam is a traditional.
I have be offered his half sister who is a traditional and may do it if she is as nice.
You can breed half sister and half brother can't you?
