It's been a funny season of Juniors for us. We have found ourselves with an overload of bucks. And not just any bucks, they were all looking rather nice. As they neared the 5 month mark a few things began setting them apart. Zilla, our Grand Champion, has a nice buck, however he is so small. He is clearly never going to grow into a large herd buck that we want. Nixie produced a very nice buck, however he is also smaller than what we had wanted. Honey produced 3 bucks. All 3 of them were very large as babies. So much so that I really thought non of them would stay under weight by the end of the uglies. We followed the typical rules of not looking at them. Until one day I couldn't resist getting one out. He was just stunning. We pulled him aside to watch him closer. Well as the month has gone on he seems to have stopped growing. So the largest of the 3 bucks has become less hopeful. So while going to photograph the other to list for sale I realized he had doubled in mass. It was so strange how these two bucks completely switched places in a matter of weeks. The third little buck ended up being the smallest we have produced so far.
