Hey everyone! I got this email from the lady I got my goats from, saying to pass this one to anyone I know who is looking for a buckling. He is a week old, his Dam is Prairie Oak Nillafudge Rip'l and his Sire is Rosasharn SP Jamaica *B. Jamaica is from the Rosasharn bloodlines which are very well known in the show world. Nell is very flashy too and is one of our best milkers. He would be an excellent sire for dairy and show. He is also VERY sweet and mellow. I just love his personality! We are asking $375 for him. She said he could breed this winter. Please contact Lynne Grasse for questions and more info at grasseacres@hotmail.com. I posted pictures of him for you all :).

Actually, I had a 4 month old Nigerian buckliing who produced babies from 2 does that he bred. Some do and some don't. I think that any buck who is new to the job of breeding needs experience before we know if he will breed or not. But of course on the youngsters, its hard to say when they will start breeding.
Nigerians are known to often breed at as early as 3 months or 4 months.

Hey Payton, I noticed on her for sale page that she has this little bucks dam as being a Prairie Wood goat, so I went to the doe page to check her out and see who her parents were. Curious, since I own 8 Prairie Wood does myself. Well, on the does page she has her as a Prairie Oak doe. I don't recognize any of the names so I am pretty sure that the Wood part is wrong and the Oak is correct. At any rate I am sure she would want to correct it, so I thought you might want to let her know. I know if it were me I would want someone to tell me, and I figured since you know her it would be best if you tell her. I wouldn't want her to think I was being rude. After all, any one can make a mistake. It is a lot of work designing a web page.
I agree with Deborah. I have a buck that was born in April of this past year. I have bred my doe 4 times with him and she has not conceived yet. All bucks are different.
@Renne I don't know but you can call or give Lynne an E-mail. http://grasseacres.com/ you can find all her contact info here. He is still up for sale on her page so I have no clue...
where is he located? still available?
If I had a one-week-old buck, I would NOT be telling people he could breed this winter. In fact, I have a buck that was born in August, and I'm not telling anyone that he can be used this year. I've had six month old bucks that either had no clue what to do or did actually breed a doe, but she didn't get pregnant. Just because a buck can breed a doe doesn't mean that his sperm count is as high as it needs to be to actually get one pregnant. I would hate for someone to buy him, assuming that he can sire kids this year and then being disappointed.
