Imagine This: The Dream Buck

Debra Day Sanders. Owner of Sweet Memory's Nubians.

I have loved this buck since I took possession of him at 2 weeks old! He throws correctness, improves udders and has a great temperament. When he was between 2 & 3, I noticed something "strange", something that didn't seem to fit! On closer examination, I discovered his teats were much bigger than normal.....on CLOSER examination, I discovered they were descended and ENLARGED.

​

I did some research and found that bucks with "enlarged" teats are considered "very milky". I even found a picture of a buck, being shown, with an obvious udder! I was reminded of this today, when he raised his back leg to scratch and I noticed his good size teats. We have LOTS of milk on our farm and I know at least some of it comes from him! If I were younger, and didn't mind being tied down, I'd go on test. Just to verify.

Prairie Nights Imagine This will always have a place on our farm and my heart will hurt when he passes on.

And now for the icing on the cake.....at 5 years old, he got a 90 EVE on Linear Appraisal yesterday!!!
