Very handsome

Yea - go ahead and blame him for that - BUT - it's all your fault I'm thinking of those funny looking earless goats.... GRRRRR!

Excuse me, I need to go pray for strength.

That buckling is huge! OK... I have minis and Nigis but still! He's gorgeous too. I love seeing pics of bucks like him on here because I never intend to have a full size buck (unless it's a meat goat) but boy do I love the looks of them!

Shh no more encouraging getting more goats!

I do like grades. But I have so many breeds now... I mean I like it but that is the problem... I have to have bucks....
So I get a Saanen (which I wouldn't mind having at all! ) and then in a few years I 'd be like hmmm maybe I need a Saanen buck...

I keep trying to minimize. The Nubians are really for youngest DS. She loves the Nubians and Lamanchas- well any big goat really. She thinks the big goats are easier to handle then the dwarfs.

Thanks @OneFineAcre I have Saanens prancing in my head.

MAKE IT STOP!

You don't have to get into Sannens
They are just what most Nubian breeders use for experimentals
And I know some people with some
nice 50/50 grades
So if you got one of those to breed to your buck it might be good

If you got a Sannen doe you could also breed to your LaMamcha buck
You could do 2 lines of grades with one doe
And honestly you might be able to get a better doe

You will love the Lamancha. They really do steal your heart. It will probably be like how Ruby (Nubian) stole mine.
They are so different but so loving.

What do I do with all these grades?

Well, I'm gonna cogitate on it for awhile. Need to find a reputable breeder and do some studying...maybe next spring. Already asked DH if he thought I would be crazy to bring in another breed. His answer - YEP! That almost guarantees it'll happen, lol!

You have Grand Champiom grades

You have BIS grades
I've seen grades go BIS
