Loving the herd life
Saaga-Togg's 1 yr old Saanen doe just kidded Thurs. She had triplets and one died but the other two are healthy and adorable
We thought that she did a poor job of cleaning off the buckling as his coat was still reddish tinted. She scrubbed and scrubbed on him, but the reddish tint remained. She gave up since he was doing fine.
Yesterday, while we were looking at him, we noticed that while he was tinted red, he appeared to have whiter legs and a spot on his head. Upon closer inspection, the reddish tinge wasn't blood ... it's just the color of his fur!!
Would this make him a Sable? Both parents are registered Saanens. In the last year or so of being involved with goats, I have not seen a single Sable for sale in Michigan and no one in the ADGA directory for MI has any Sables (since they list breeds next to names).
She plans on selling him. What would be a reasonable price to ask for a Sable buckling?
I'll post pics later.
