I re-read my comment and thought it sounded brash. What I meant to say was yes I know about the stinky bucks and their feed requirements, but I do appreciate your reminder. It was the main reason we never bought a male goat in the past. However, after reviewing the alternatives of either selling or eating them, we decided to consider keeping them instead. After trying to find a stud in our area, and my neighbors desire to sell his, we thought that maybe we could offer a local stud service by keeping them. There seems to be a demand for mixed Boer Goat bloodlines in the area.

Reddunappy, Yes we are aw...Thanks Warren and Robin.<br />Reddunappy, Yes we are aware of the trouble of raising male goats and their dietary problems. It is still something we are considering. I will have to have a long talk with my hay supplying farmer and make sure he will be raising enough alfalfa free hay for me in the future.GreyWolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09509772394021322139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818681790839939460.post-65828087314649672212013-04-11T19:04:42.966-04:002013-04-11T19:04:42.966-04:00So glad Peaches has some company.

Cuties they are, baby goats are so cute!!!<br /><br />Have you had a breeder buck before? They are nasty stinky things that pee all over their beards and mark everything! FYI LOL<br /><br />Just remember if you keep the bucklings they are not supposed to have concentrates, i.e. grain. and absolutely no alfalfa! Grass hay only, and pasture! They will develope urinary calculi kinda like a male cat. It will block the urethra and other than having a very expensive $600. or so surgery, they dont live. <br /><br />We had a pygmy wether that was 7 when he died, after we found out about this malady.
