Our 2010 herd sire Mystic Hollow Geronimo
We are pleased to introduce our 2010 herd sire, Mystic Hollow Geronimo, a registered Nigerian Dwarf buck. He was added to our herd last fall as the primary buck for our dairy does. He successfully bred our four miniature dairy does as well as our Oberhasli doe producing a first generation miniature Oberhasli with that breeding. We just received word that his sire Copper Penny MTB Money To Burn "Burnie" just received 2010 Best in Show at the Mega Buck Show. Good bloodlines through and through.
'Mo' has to be the friendliest buck I've encountered. He's easy to handle, has a great disposition, and a cutie besides. We have five sets of his kids on the ground and are pleased with everyone...7 doelings and 2 bucklings. Not a bad ratio at all either.

Hiya, Just stopped in to see how things were going with your goats =) Glad to hear Geronimo has done so well for you guys (7 doelings yay!)and is still being a good boy. If you are ever wanting to sell him let me know...I might be interested in a buy back ;)

Hello Connie,
ReplyDeleteRenesme gave birth to two gorgeous kids April 10. One bucking and one doe. The buckling got all the nutrients and is strong, playful, and cuddly. We can't keep as a buck but think he is high quality. What is your advice? We did not debud him and hear this might be a problem in selling him.

Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteAs there is usually a very limited need for bucks, most boys are wethered. They can then be used as companion animals, pets, etc. Not disbudding could provide a problem for you depending on whom your purchaser would be. Horns can be a liability if kept with does (udders seems to get injured) or unhorned goats that are defenseless, or in areas with fencing where they could get their heads/horns stuck. Horns can be removed surgically by a veterinarian if you're still interested. Congratulations on your first kidding :)
