Generation - 4th

I hadn't planned on buying a second buckling, but when I saw Bran was still available, I couldn't pass him up. I think he's very correct as a youngster, though he lacks a bit of Bandito's bulk and quick growth.

 

Bran is so stinkin' sweet and laid back. He's my little buddy! Bran matured a little later, so his use in 2022 was limited, but he has it all figured out now. Mostly. He seems to be picky about his girlfriends, go figure - he finally picked a couple does he loved.

In 2023, Bran was MUCH buckier and bred does without discriminating. All while being a gentleman leading back and forth. 

 

Bran is somewhat related to both Shiner and Bandito but brings some unrelated genetics as well.

 

His young dam has a lovely udder with excellent attachments, texture, and foreudder, according to her breeder. As far as general appearance, she has one of the most level toplines I've seen in a Kinder doe. Just beautiful. Bandita was evaluated as E E E with a total score of 88.2 Excellent.

I am hoping Bran will be my new feet and udder attachment buck! His general appearance is wonderful and he's got soft, loose dairy skin, as well. I left some of his baby pictures because I think it is so fun to watch them grow!
