I agree with dover farms, though he is very young and could potentially improve in body capacity he is very narrow and shallow through the barrel even for a two day old kid. if you look at his rib cage he gets more shallow as you follow it back, he is deeper in his heart girth then he is in the rear part of his barrel. He should be getting deeper as you fallow his barrel back. Something about his feet and legs just doesn't look right. his front legs look like the bow out some and then come back in at the feet. he looks like he toes in pretty bad in the front.
His parents both have steep rumps. His dam is very shallow through the barrel as well. im assuming she is a yearling in that picture. She seems really narrow and pinched looking all the way down her body.
He does apear to have a nice set of shoulders and be very uphill. His rump looks nice now but if you look at the angle of his rear legs he looks as if he is going to be posty, bot a lot of angulation there which usually comes with a steep rump, there isnlt much length from his hips to his pins.
The ultimate choice is up to you but if your looking to show kids out of your does i wouldn;t get him. I don;t think he is going to make the improvements you want in your herd. Though he is a pretty color and has spots spots don;t win in the show ring. I would rather havea plain looking buck that has better confirmation then a not so good buck with color.
Like Dover said i don;t want to burst your bubble as you seem really excited about him but if your looking for show i don;t think i would get him. Do you have any pictures of his dam with an udder?
