Ron 2 Year
Goat, Mini Nubian, Buck (male)
We haven't fully moved to OpenHerd - click here to see more pics & details on our site!Homeward Bound BA Ronald - F6 MDGA Purebred Mini Nubian buck, DOB 3/14/22. Alpha-s1 Casein b/f. Scurred.Ron is a proven, correctly built buck in his prime and one of our most enjoyable animals to work with. He is selected specifically for rear udder height and arch, and his offspring are confirming what his pedigree promised - his 2025 daughter Bee showed clear skeletal width improvement over her refined dam at the same age, with more open foreleg spacing and a more level rear end.Structurally he is level through the topline, clean in the front end, correct in the legs, and carries his body depth and length without coarseness. His mahogany and black coat is striking. Temperament is excellent - sweet and mannerly with people, respectful with younger bucks. He does have a talent for detecting when something unpleasant is coming and will remove himself accordingly, but on his own terms he is one of the easiest bucks in the herd to handle.Honest management notes: his scurs require periodic monitoring and trimming to prevent curling back toward his head, and he needs more frequent hoof care than average. Neither affects his usefulness. His Alpha-s1 Casein is b/f - one favorable allele for cheesemakers. His dam line runs through Green Gables FF Amber, the 2011 MDGA Summer V-Show Grand Champion.
