Nice "goatee" you got growing there Rudy.
He is really handsome. He is starting to show more and more aggression
which is a bit disappointing, but that comes with the territory.
I am gonna fly away....
Just kidding, goats can't fly!

*front and center
Rudy is the sire of our herd, and he is what made it all possible, and
he is quite tired of all the oohs and awes of the babies as well as the
special treatment that Bodie is getting. Bodie gets treats every
morning at milking time, thing such as raw sliced potatoes, apple peels,
broccoli, etc. The kids of course just get all the attention without
even trying! So, it is his turn to shine...
He has mature enough to get his nasty goaty smell. He had a slight
smell months ago, but it is much more pronounced here of late. The
smell however is not as bad as some post I have read about, but we do
not have a number of bucks that we are keeping to raise a herd of goats
for selling or showing. Our goal is to have a quality buck that we can
breed our does to, in order to supply milk for our family.

Next time you out there with Rudy, please tell him that I said he is one handsome buck! :-) He REALLY is!
ReplyDeleteI will indeed! I totally agree, he is really handsome, but each day he is becoming more expendable. He is becoming aggressive, it makes me sad. We are not making any rash decisions and he is in rutt, so perhaps his behaviour will become better...
