Introducing "Zeke"

Ford Zoo · #1 09/14/12, 04:27 PM

We decided to get a buck for our ND does rather than try to find a rental. Brought little Zeke home today. Never thought I'd care for those little LaMancha ears till I laid eyes on him. My heart melts everytime I look into his blue eyes!

Are these elf ears everyone talks about? Or the gopher ears?

Either way, I think he is a handsome boy!

The listing is gone. How much bigger than NDs are LaManchas?

Is he a mini-mancha? The listing is gone.

Always breed dwarf does to dwarf bucks. It is really not suggested to breed full size bucks to mini does. If you want to make mini manchas, the cross is nigerian buck to full size does.

Huh! I've seen that listing as its my local CL. He is a black sundgau (black w/ tan points) blue eyes (i think) and horned. Oh he is elf eared too.

He is a mini mancha, I would never dream of causing my ND's any trouble breeding them to a large buck.

Yes dbarjacres, that's the one!

What generation mini mancha is your new buck? Not to worry you & this might just be a concern of mine but unless it was up there generation wise I would still be afraind to breed him to nigerian dwarf does' because of the chance he could still throw kids too large.
I am also a bit of a worrier so might just be my own fear.
