For those who like to see spots...our new Boer buck

[Roll farms]

This is Copper's Joker Is Wild, his sire is the awesome red spotted buck Coppertox and his dam is a dapple-headed traditional. We got him back in March but life's been crazy (adult child moved back home in April, then left again in November, then kidding started, then we've had 400 inches of snow and it's been 80 degrees below zero all winter...or seems like it....).

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get any good pics of him lately, these are his baby pics - 6 mos. old pics, and one I snapped in between snowstorms last month.






We're expecting his first babies in 3 weeks, from our old paint doe, Patch.

You can see his sire here: http://jrfarmboergoats.webs.com/bucks
We also have a half sister sired by Coppertox named Bratty Child.

Can't wait to see the kids!!!

I don't even have boers but their was a young buck listed recently and the whole family had to talk me out of getting him!

You start with those too flippin cute pictures of your babies and then we lose our minds!

Oh gosh he is cute! About a week or two ago I was on your website, and absolutely LOVED him! His sire is handsome!

Really like your boy! Beautiful goats!

Hope he gives you LOTS of spots! Can't wait to see his babies!

Thanks, guys.
I'm not loving his head (Bullitt spoiled me for big old South African looking buck heads) but will keep some of his daughter's to breed to Mathis, the Bullitt son we're keeping.

Yes you are @bonbean01 ... you're a closet goatie... we will keep your secret.

Such a shame Boers do so poorly here. Such cool looking goats!

Can't wait to see babies. I tell everyone that I got my spot addiction from you. I have a purebred spotted bottle baby buckling in the barn and 2 spotted doelings in the field with their dam. I am thrilled. My current herd sire is spotted as well, but I am keeping too many daughters so time to move him on out. I am still trying for that black/white spotted one though. Just hasn't happened.

Coppertox is a really NICE buck, hope your buck and his offspring grow to be as nice.

Southern, we have wet, swampy, mucky summers where parasites can be an issue...A lot of boers do poorly here as well. I just won't tolerate the weak ones, we rarely deworm and I give all the credit to culling hard for puny, wormy, non-thriving animals. I don't care how pretty they are, if I'm going broke medicating them, they won't stay around.
In other words...You just don't have the "right" boers there.
