Soo...not sure that my 100% Boer kids are...100% Boer. We bought mom (registered 100%) back in October and were told to expect November kids out of their 100% buck. She was enourmous with a full udder. We had her in with our registered Boer buck for about 2 weeks until we found a spot for her (pretty hateful ol' girl). November comes and goes and around January the girl ballooned out even more. Soo...we suspected that our buck got her.
Then, these 3 cuties appear.
Yes, we are having to bottle feed because mom isn't producing milk. Yay...
Now, I don't want to be a cynical, but I don't think these are Boer kids. For one, they are smaller then other kids that we have had (not by much, but enough to catch my eye), the red roan and black with brown points strike me as "Nigerian" colors, and their little folded ears stick straight out.
They are cute as a button and we love them all the same, but I wanted some other opinions before I list them in 3 months. I will definitely not be trying to register them.
Here's some of the kids that are definitely from our buck for reference.
