EDIT: I'm more interested in a 1-2 year care lease (essentially a buck library loan) for this little guy. Get the genetics without the long term commitment! If interested, please reach out with your buck management practices.
5 week old polled buckling. Long as a train with a nice open escutcheon, a nice dairy little dude overall.
I would keep him or his brother if we were not taking a pause this next year. His brother is pending but this handsome fella is being offered at a bangin' deal (three five 0) to a local herd who would allow us to have access to him for a couple driveway breedings over the next couple years. These two bucklings are exactly what I was hoping for from our Tua Farms guy, Griffin, and where I want to see our program head when we pick back up again. It feels crazy to sell them but our buck pen is truly geriatric and has special dietary needs and we are not set up to have multiple buck pens. He is available for five double zero without the breeding rights. Either way we'd like to retain first right of refusal if he goes as a buckling.
This fella's dam, Wild In Wild W Waaka, is a way under-utilized 6 y/o 2nd freshener. Not her fault - I think she's an excellent milker and has one of the best udders in my herd. Just been a really weird last four years and does didn't get freshened as often as I would have liked (hence the upcoming break). Waaka scored a solid +VVV87 as a 2 y/o FF and is on test right now. She embodies my favorite lines in our herd.
His sire is Tua Farms BF Griffin. Info on that handsome gentleman is on our next post down as we are seeking a new herd for him as well. (Again, see the geriatric buck pen with expensive and special nutrition needs)
