I know it may sound crazy as many buckling kids as we had this year, but we just received the new buckling we reserved in December. He arrived Saturday afternoon around 5:30 after a long car ride from Marengo, OH.
All of the buck kids we had will be leaving soon in that we cannot use them for our breeding.
We have a plan on the direction we are going with our herd, and felt that we were missing a crucial piece.
Don't have a great picture yet, but did take a couple in the house Saturday night. He is 5 weeks old.

He is almost perfectly dark chocolate brown, with darker "leggings" like a chamoise.

I pursued this buckling however for the back ground on the Sire's side of the pedigree.

The Sire is Buttin' Heads Calcium Carbonate. Cal's twin brother sold at this years ADGA Spotlight Sale. There is no picture available of him.

Back in December I initially was pursuing a yearling buck from Party, but that didn't work out. That's when I found out that Buttin Heads had one of her bucks and had bred to PaperClip. We know Tom from Buttin Heads from showing at the NC State Fair and NC Mountain State Fair.

We are pretty excited !!!!!

Very nice genetics!

Thanks
There are a lot of good animals there. But, you never can tell what you get when you mix it all up. Might be good, might not. :)

But, we were looking for something totally different from our better animals.

He was pretty stressed out for a few days, and I couldn't get any good pictures. He's doing great now. Our first "bottle baby" and he is a needy little thing. Prefers the house to outdoors, but he's making some friends now with the other babies. He's a pretty little guy.

He is doing great. Eating really well. This is our first bottle baby. He thinks my wife is his mother :)
