Long day here...

So I am super happy to have a f-2 gophered eared buck - he will be retained.
The does are going to be magnificent milkers... there genetics are there on bothe sides BUT I really can't keep them. Defeats a breeding program to keep erect ears for us. The good news is many want a mini mancha for the high butterfat and higher production but don't like lamancha ears... so this gives them what they want.
Of course the price is reflective too I did consider keeping one of the does and just breeding her to a 50/50 gopher eared buck... but reality is I can make mini's anytime

They are beautiful though! Bingo's udder grew - I think I posted her growing pouch a week ago. She milks like a dream- fantastic orifices, buttery soft udder and beautifully attached. We will see if her teats enlarge or not.
The buckling (Bingo's) had his legs bent up under him so they need a little exercise to straighten out.
Buck- 3lbs 2 oz
does- J-8 & J-9 both were 3 lbs 10 oz

I am really loving our Kikos - VERY disappointed I didn't get a doe.
I also cannot believe I cannot keep the Blonde buck! I him! I can't stop smooching him! did I say I love him?

J-9

They will be awesome milkers! Bingo is a very impressive doe, and combined with the sires genetics

I do not know why but I cannot find Bingo's dam's udder... I was looking for one for the website. She is the doe we had to milk 4-5 times a day only half way out so we could reduce her production... she was outproducing what her FF udder could hold- her udder developed for a single mini... yet she was milking for twin standards. It was crazy!
This is the sire's dam's udder- I think I posted pics of him a few pages back.
We will get Bingo's udder pics once we clip her udder... we never got around to it.
NOT overfill- just overnight

Day-ummmmm!

I think $200 each, for the erect eared does, is a fair price- they can still be registered because they fall under experimental.
One has blue eyes... the other we really can't tell - they look light blue but we still aren't sure. There is possibility of them being polled too because their sire is.
