The pictures on the left are of 3 different doelings born in 2009. Both
photos sets were taken on different days indifferent areas. These are all
back legs.
Photos taken August, 2009
The black legs are of the same doe.
I kept looking at this doe, wondering what was wrong. I wanted to
be sure it was the doe and not the ground causing the effect. The
black doe has long pasturns, and the don't have a solid good angle.
On the right, is another angle of the black doeling.
None of this pasturn problem is evident in her dam and sire, or per
maternal grand dam or grand sire and great grand sire or great grand dam. I
have no data on the paternal side. |
This doeling will never be productive in our
brush management program.
She will never be bred as she may pass
this on to kids. |
Poor conformation of the pasterns
This doe is 3 years old in the photo |
Poor conformation of the pasterns
This did not show up until the buck was 3 years old |
Good conformation of the pasterns
This doe is 9 years old in this photo |
Split scrotum
He is not a breeding buck |
A hermorphadite
She does have testicles inside the abdomen This did not show up until
after puberty, when she began to get heavier horns, and just a buck look
about the head and the protuberance at the vulva. |
 A well shaped hoof maintained naturally |
 Kid
born with many problems |

A hoof that grows odd and does not naturally maintain-a cull factor

Doe was born 4-05
Kid born 3-13-09, Weaned single kid 6-12-09
only nursed on side
Photo taken 8-20-09, doe is 4 years old.
But the udder, like the other doe, has not stayed nice and tight.
The one side will be more prone to injury, so she will not be kidding again.

Born 3-9-05
Kidded 3-18-09 Weaned single kid 6-12-09
only nursed one side
Photo taken 8-20-09, doe is 4 years old.
This does udder just fell apart this year. Teats are not defined, the
ligaments are stretched. If she were to kid a gain, they probably
would have a hard time finding those very low teats.
She is a cull, and so is her buck kid born in 09. She can not really be
used in brush work, due to the potential injury to the udder.
Her mother has a fine udder, and she was born in 02. See

Doe born in 2002, photo taken 8-30-09
Dam to doe directly left middle photo. |
Born 3-17-05
Kidded 3-12-09, Weaned twins 6-22-09
Photo taken 8-20-09, doe is 4 year old
This does udder is small, and the teats are still well defined.
|
Another angle of the doe above, and what her udder/teats look like.
|
 This
is a malformed jaw, and I have seen it
happen twice in my herd in 9 years. |
 |
 |
The does, both born in 2008 and are at the time of the
photo,16 mos old. The doeling on the left just doesn't look right
The doeling on the right is more pleasing in structure.
It took me along time to really identify why I did not like the one on
the right. |

Look at the photos
The bucklings are all about the same age
They are not the same quality
Small testicles are a cull factor |
