I would get another intact buckling so the offspring that you will end up keeping for the first breedings will have something to breed with.

I am not a huge fan of wethers. We have all intact bucks from different lines for the does I retain.. and genetic diversity. In the end you will feed a wether, trim hooves, run fecals, do all the work in caring for and maintaining the animal with NO BENEFITS.
Wethers are much more prone to UC also. Cost the same to care for them so why get an animal that can't do anything for you?

All our bucks get along beautifully.
