Letting Go

8/22/2014

 
It was funny, months ago a friend joked with me, saying we would never be able to sell anything because we were so attached.  Little did I know how true that would become.  When they are born we usually name them within a week.  We get to know each of their personalities and they become part of our very loved herd.  By the time 5 months roll around naturally we love them.  So making a choice to bid farewell is difficult.  I thought I would feature 3 of our beauties that are now available to the right home.
First off we have a gorgeous Senior Broken Tort Buck, we have known as Chowder.  He comes from some of the top lines with very good pedigrees.  We were tempted to keep him, however he is basically identical to his sire so that will offer nothing new to our herd.  He has a nice h/e/c, with a very good open ear.  He has a fairly short compact body with good bone.  He is weighing in around 3 lb 10 oz but you would never know it to look at him.  He looks so small and compact for his weight.  He is very much like his sire in personality.  He has a one track mind and is anxious to find him some ladies.  He gets irritated with posing nonsense as he is quite certain he has better things to do.  He has been shown multiple times and has won 1st place.

Next is a beautiful Jr. solid tort doe.  She carries sable, meaning bred to a sable point she could produce sable.  She could be shown as she is a stunning doe.  I would fault her on crown,  She has too much side to side width which also makes her ears appear longer, however bred to a correct buck she will be an excellent doe.  She has massive shoulders which really makes it hard for us to let go of her, as this is something we need in our herd.  We are however keeping her sister.  She also has a very full hind quarters and nice straight bone.  She is a very content doe.

And last we have another Jr. Solid tort doe.  She is a little bit larger than the last but very similar in the mass.  Amazing shoulders, and very full HQ.  She will make an excellent brood doe. She is also a sable carrier.
