[Missy]

His mother was a full nubian his father was 1/4 Alpine 3/4 nubian. I am so excited! I am not sure exactly what I am going to do with him when I am finished with him lol. but I am bringing him in this Sunday as a mate for my Oberhasli doe and my Saanen doe. The lady is finished with him and said I could keep him, eat him or pass him on. Oh what to do???

You could sell him afterwards and make a bit of money off of him

I thought about it. I am afraid he will be eaten lol. I know that is the fate of many bucks though.

I take it you don't want to house a buck full time?

 

[Missy]

Well. I had planned to keep him full time right in with the girls, then I have heard bad things about keeping a buck in with does all the time...I am wanting him to stay so I will figure something out.

 

[that's*satyrical]

I thought bucks tasted nasty??

 

[MrsDieselEngineer]

We've eaten lots of yearling and two year old bucks. Over a year the meat is stronger tasting but cooked right it's really good
The only bad thing about keeping a buck in with the does full time is you won't have exact breeding dates, unless you are there when it happens. My boy stays in with the girls full time, he's good with the kids too.

Congrats! I think he's beautiful.

I'd be keeping him if he was mine.
