So far Promise will not let Mr. Buckey breed her. This is such a bummer. But we are going to have a judge come and look at him and give us an evaluation. We might be selling him due to his twin did not get great marks in his evaluation. So we are looking at new bucks and maybe add a doe in as...
I was given a buck who's parents are registered but he isn't as of yet. I am trying to figure out what color he would be considered for the paper work. All your help is greatly appreciated. He does have a little bit of brown on his hooves. but everywhere else is black and white.
