Ok, with the loss of Redcard, my fall breeding plans have been all thrown out of wack. So I've been trying to figure out what to do. Redcard was a Buttin'Heads buck and I have 3 B'H does and retained 2 daughters from them this year. I had fully intended to breed him to all 5. (PS, he died suddenly Saturday morning we believe a heart attack or stroke.)
So now my choice is to move my breedings around and prove my junior bucks a little more instead. So what would you do?
Here's my 3 Buttin'Heads girls. Which of the two bucklings below would you breed each to?
Buttin'Heads Tachauna (8 years old) http://www.sweetgumminis.com/Tachauna.jpg

Here's their two daughters, both will be first fresheners...
SGM AZ Danse The Cha-Cha (Contredanse daughter) http://www.sweetgumminis.com/Cha-Cha_6-20-08.2.jpg
SGM R Chamber of Secrets (Potsie daughter) http://www.sweetgumminis.com/Secrets_4-21-08.5.jpg
My plan was to breed the daughter's to the opposite buck just for the sake of seeing the kids from both sires. Make since?
Anyway, here's the two bucks.
First is our homebred Revelation...

And my second option is...
J-Nels SQ River Birch... http://www.sweetgumminis.com/River_6-28-08.9.jpg
His dam is MCH/CH J-Nels ER Dumplin...
So what's your opinion?
So far my fall breeding line-up looks like this for each buck...
Ace: Julie and Bushfire
River (above): Faith (Revelation's dam), Olympia & Hallelujah
Revelation (above): Fuchsia
Larkspur: Minuet & Birdie (lamancha)
Cruiser: Meg (lamancha)
