I got a picture today of the buck who is here for stud service for my senior girls. I'm really looking forward to seeing some kids out of this boy, his kids from this spring that I saw are just gorgeous! I brought this guy in to breed for some replacement doelings who are not related to my buck. What do you think?

I think he is SERIOUS about the job he's there to do! :gig

All joking aside, I think he looks nice!

He sure is! He's been here since Friday night and already has every doe on the property in raging heat, and has already bred two of the three he's here for! He's got such a nice temperament, he's sweet to the girls, easy to handle, and even plays gently with my young buckling. I hope he passes that on!

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out exactly what he is....PB LaMancha? Nubi x LaMancha?

He's nice and slick, that's for sure.. The fact that he doesn't have hardly any course, red, mineral-deficiency-indicative hair on his hind legs tells me that he's either a genetic marvel or that whomever he belongs to is doing something right...or both, I dunno.

His back legs look pretty good to me. He's got some angle to his hock and stifle, and his cannons seem pretty good and straight. I like that.. He's not all pinched up in the heart girth, either, which I like.. Good overall length, too, and his topline looks pretty good..

Hard to get a good idea from just one picture, but so far...I like him. :)

He's purebred LaMancha. LaMancha-Lane Expresso Twist. You know, it is weird that he doesn't have any red, because his owner doesn't have a shelter for him to get out of the sun really to avoid fading, and she also only feeds the horse mineral block, not a goat mineral. He's also eating nothing but grass hay, so he keeps in condition really good I think!

I *really* like that he looks good, despite being somewhat..."less than intensively" managed.

That's a good quality. :thumbsup

He is a big boy! He doesn't look as big in the first picture. But when you see him on the stand, you realize how big he is.

I like him more all the time. I'm sure he'll throw some really nice babies. :)

The 2nd pic of him on the stanchion...he's really working the camera. For some reason, I picture him -- in a really overdone, vaguely western European accent -- going "Aaaah ha ha...you LIKE this, what you are seeing now...yes, no?"
