Breeder Question

How many does do you have? Maybe split service between the two? I never liked more than 5 does per yearling buck.
Is the damage permanent? If so selling any offspring becomes harder then. That said I imagine your not thinking about that angle of the market but rather the stocker market. Which would dictate using the wider one provided he has good tine length and at least a 5x5 mainframe.
The brother has a nice shape to his rack.
One thing I looked at to predict future growth was the bases. Some will have thick bases that almost look like a glass of Coke foaming over. If that description makes sense to you. That can indicate the future ability of a buck to push more bone.
With the limited info given and the small pics I would lean towards the wider one myself. Stockers should be the goal and not selling offspring in today's market.
Just my opinion and good luck!

Sounds like the wider one is the better gamble for you then showing width and mass. Don't let the 4 point side scare you. If you recall a buck I grew a few years ago called Updraft. He was a 4x4 at age one. Scored 168 I think. At age 2 he was 268 and change. And at 3 was over 315 or 317. And added mainframe points as well.
His more typical and wider brother always stayed the widest of the two boys.
Just keep them healthy and good luck to you!
