Chillin' with the herd
I have a 18 day old Nigerian Dwarf buckling that only has 1 testicle descended. If I understand correctly, they should both be there at birth.
Is this carried paternal, maternal, or either parent can be a carrier? If either, is there an easy way to determine if mom or dad is the carrier? Dad is a new young buck we purchased last summer. Mom is a FF. Both her mom and sister had bucklings last year (different buck) with no issues.
What about this bucklings sister? Can she be a carrier? Should she be sold as a pet only?
I have one other doe bred to this buck for April kids.
Any insight anyone could give me would be great. Thanks!
