They say that sometimes an animal will surprise you with their growth some days. Today Boots popped! He is not eating 1.5lbs 2x a day. And is slowing gaining. Hopefully I can get a weight on him next week.

He is doing good! He definitely feels like he is growing a lot

Have you compared last year's pics to this year's?

Yes. Both Dutch and Bullseye were differentiates and genetics so I am comparing by same age. He definitely is bigger than Bullseye but we could all guess that with Bullseye being so tiny all year. He is structurally about the same as Dutch. He isn’t as filled in as Dutch at this point. I’m ok with that though since I’ve got all year to slowing work him up. He definitely has a lot more muscle than Dutch.

Cool. I thought you'd be comparing them. I'd expect some differences with the different genetics, and Bullseye to me smaller given all you went through with him. I've done that with litters of puppies - being able to compare things is valuable.

Yeh I’m think Bullseye was maybe a true FD and really held on to the D gene. The D gene is the dwarf and they like breeding it in between it adds muscle and power. So that would be why he wasn’t as big and I had to do next to nothing for him to put on muscle not fat.

He was definitely FD also him being a natty probably helped with that too some nattys just don't get fat

Boots and Frosty both attended this first petting zoo like event!!!! I school hosts an event for incoming freshman to learn different clubs and I had both of them out there. They were nervous but overall enjoyed getting to torment and tangle around me for 4 hours lol.

Nice of you to offer them up as ambassadors of the school farm! LOL

Ok so maybe it’s been a while. I’ve been so busy with my classes and college applications.

Boots is about 126-128 right now. He looks so green still. I feel like we will be hitting 200lbs but looking great at it.
