This is Copper's Joker Is Wild, his sire is the awesome red spotted buck Coppertox and his dam is a dapple-headed traditional. We got him back in March but life's been crazy (adult child moved back home in April, then left again in November, then kidding started, then we've had 400 inches of snow and it's been 80 degrees below zero all winter...or seems like it....).

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get any good pics of him lately, these are his baby pics - 6 mos. old pics, and one I snapped in between snowstorms last month.

We're expecting his first babies in 3 weeks, from our old paint doe, Patch.

You can see his sire here: http://jrfarmboergoats.webs.com/bucks
We also have a half sister sired by Coppertox named Bratty Child.

Can't wait to see babies. :weee I tell everyone that I got my spot addiction from you. I have a purebred spotted bottle baby buckling in the barn and 2 spotted doelings in the field with their dam. I am thrilled. My current herd sire is spotted as well, but I am keeping too many daughters so time to move him on out. I am still trying for that black/white spotted one though. Just hasn't happened.

Coppertox is a really NICE buck, hope your buck and his offspring grow to be as nice.

Southern, we have wet, swampy, mucky summers where parasites can be an issue...A lot of boers do poorly here as well. I just won't tolerate the weak ones, we rarely deworm and I give all the credit to culling hard for puny, wormy, non-thriving animals. I don't care how pretty they are, if I'm going broke medicating them, they won't stay around.
In other words...You just don't have the "right" boers there. ;)
