Our New Nubian Buckling :)

[samssimonsays]

I love him! He's gorgeous! And huge!

Mine come from slooow maturing lines size wise but eager to breed none the less hahaha. Only about 44# less than your guy and seem so much smaller than him! But they aren't one yet lol.

 

[TAH]

Did you end up wethering him?

Love his looks!

I like the looks of mini nubians!

I think you might have us confused with someone else, we never had any intentions of wethering this guy! His purpose here is to breed our Nubian doe, Ruby.

Thinking I'd like to get him into the ring next year.

@TAH this is a standard Nubian - we bought him as a herdsire so no weathering! Our Mini Nubian is just about to turn 1 and he is about 95-100 lbs but he is a bit fat.
This boy "Olaf" is huge 144 lbs and will be a big boy when mature.

@samssimonsays I saw that pic you sent of that buck - The black one... is he the sire to yours? He is HUGE! Pretty too!

No he's not but holy crap is he giant lol. I would have loved to have brought him home.

What's considered a "good" size for a full grown nubian buck? Just curious!

Ruby has never not taken on a first breeding.
Since we got our young buck we have bred her and she hasn't taken.
Today she cycled right on the nose again 3weeks since her last cycle.
We brought Olaf up and this time I watched closely as to why and what is going on... basically every time there is never an arch or anything to show he actually bred her.
Well what I saw was something I have never seen... he mounts does all the right stuff EXCEPT he won't extend his pizzle by more than an inch... so he never actually breeds her.
Over and over til Ruby is wore out.

I am concerned over our Baby boy Olaf but if for some reason there is something really wrong we will wether him and he will be our pet. We adore Olaf.
Maybe he is just not mature enough.

I got these from your kidding thread

I was just wondering

He is just slow maturing like his sire. We had our vet look at him to be sure.

@TAH oh I see... yes vet thinks he is just slow to mature.

On another note @TAH MoClone our Kiko girl is due on the 2nd (day 150)
She looks like she may have triplets. Really would like does out of her.

Glad he thinks he is slow maturing!

Hope she kids well and she has does for you!
