New Additions!

[Stacykins]

So I've been considering adding a new doe to my small herd. I guess I will do so sooner than I thought. AND I will also be adding a buck laddie to my herd, too! I wasn't planning on a buck this year, but I couldn't pass him up. He is coming from the same herd that the doe is, but he is not related to her at all! And they are registered!

These pictures are not mine, they were taken by the person selling them.

The doe, Yoko

The buck, George

If all goes well, I will be picking them up this week!

The buck laddie, after being quarantined, will be buddies with my wether in their own pen. Yoko will join my girls. She is apparently on the bottom of the totem pole in the herd she comes from. I think she'll be a good girl with my girls, and they to her. She won't be bred until later, I want her to be settled in before anything happens.

Beautful!

Hehe, thanks, all! I am about to hit the road, so excited!

I am taking the chance of having a potentially stanky buck in the small SUV I am taking. I could take a pickup truck, but the gas mileage in exponentially worse with the truck, and it is a long drive.

They're home! And my word, George is very fragrant! I rode the entire way with all the windows down so I wasn't fumigated! I've smelled bucks before, but he just had really strong man musk compared to the others. Whew! But he is very friendly, and has a very gentle voice.

Yoko is even more gorgeous in person! A little nervous, but I think she'll settle in well!

Yoko is beautiful. I kind of want her. lol She looks like a very nice doe. Congrats on her!!

Congrats.

I bet your SUV will smell "funny" for a while, and remind you of this trip, esp. on hot sunny days.

They are beautiful congratulations I hope they settle in quick I love the does color she is a cutie and he is very handsome and I must say that IMO mini bucks smell much stronger then the full sized boys I guess they figure what they lack in stature they can make up in funk

Clean out your SUV and then soak it in Febreeze don't forget to spray the ceiling also leave the windows down (weather permitting) for a day or so and it should be fine

I will have to Febreeze it to death, I think, thanks! I had a tarp down, and they were in separate, big, dog crates. I vacuumed it out as soon as I got them settled, since the wind blew their hay around. It's just that the funk kinda...sticks! Halfway into the journey home I bought a car hanging air freshener to help 'sweeten' things up. It just made the car smell like vanilla, and buck stank, haha!

Hickory, I think you are right about the smaller the size, the stronger the smell. I met a huge boer buck in the middle of rut, a very fertile and randy lad, and he did not smell this bad! It was very mild and almost pleasant, and he wasn't a first year boy. George makes me gag a little, rofl! And I can handle some really strong smells, in a nursing clinical I didn't bat an eye having to give a bath to a new patient who hadn't bathed in six months, while the others couldn't stomach helping!
