Fainters in Michigan?
I'm looking for a buck to service my crossbred 'miniature' does this winter. I only have 4 does, and two of those are daughters of my buck. I have bred them before for just meat kids, but I'd like to keep maybe one or two and so would like to outcross.
The herd was tested CL/CAE/Johnnes free yearly up till March '08 when I took a break from breeding and closed the herd. I do plan on doing another testing this fall since I want to start breeding. We're getting low on goat meat in the freezer and I found I had more than enough time to raise meat kids this year.
If I can't find a fainting buck, A large-ish pygmy buck would be my next bet as they have good dress-out percentages too.
