Our New Buckling is Here (Fortunato )

[Mike CHS]

So sorry you lost that handsome guy and I know from your posts that he was special for you.

He was an extremely handsome guy. Hopefully his does are able to keep his line going and give you maybe a grandson of his that is just like him.

We only bred him to one doe this year. Rosemarinus. We haven't had a single doe from Rosemary. I'm actually hoping for a buck and a doe this time. If we get a buck we will likely keep him.
Here is Rosemary

Hoping you get exactly what you want!

So sorry for your loss!

Hopefully you get a buckling to carry on his great name.

For those of you who had never met Fortunato here is his thread.
He was killed this past weekend when a large round bale of hay tipped over on him.
This is a huge hit to us. It would not have been any less tragic if it had been one of the other bucks, but it happening to him makes it really tough.
I'm just sick over it.

I'm so, so, sad to see this. ((Hugs)) to your family.

Here is a Fortunato update. He's I guess right around 7 months old now. He is doing great, and he is a beautiful young buck. Since the move to the new place he is living with all of the other boys now.
The goal with a buck is always to produce nice daughters, so we will see how that goes. But, he is truly a beautiful animal.

This flashed across the top of the page.
Still makes me so sad.

I can only imagine how tough that was for you. As your herd sire (or one of) he carried the future of your herd and you lost all that potential with his loss. It seems you've recovered somewhat, but he''ll always be part of your herd history.

I just got some photos back of all my daughter's Lamanchas that our horse border took a few months ago. The doeling we lost in July looks awesome in them and I imagine I feel about the same way as you do.
