As well as show casing my future fawn crop I would also like to get your guys input on breeding choices. Attached are 4 pedigrees. I have choice fawn out of each doe. My intent is to keep 1 doe and 1 buck from each sire. That way I could in the future breed the Rolex buck to the Say it aint so shadow doe and vice versa. Just wanted to get your guys input on what I should keep from each doe. With a little over a month to go I am getting pumped!!

Just my opinion for whatever it is worth/costs you, I would not take any buck fawns from any of them.

I would instead take a doe fawn from each of them and use semen purchased at a later date to breed them with later on to keep building the pedigree of each doe deeper and deeper.

I would select specific bucks to buy semen from later on based on, (in no particular order) pedigree, looks, marketability, line breeding preferences and score.

Again just my opinion since you contacted me and asked me to take a look at this for you.



If this is not the answer you were hoping for then let me give you the answer to what your post specifically asks for.

I would take doe fawns from Brandy and Patty.

I would take buck fawns from Cassidy and Doralee.

I would sell half ownership of the buck fawns with the deal being they stay on your farm. Then you can use them to breed with as you have said your plan is to do. The reason I would sell half ownership is to get some cash out of them to buy semen and females with to use to build your herd even better.



Good luck Jared. And thanks for your confidence in my opinion.

Thanks Roger you always have a great eye for this kind of thing. I appriciate you taking your time to look them over.
 
Thanks foodplot I wanted to step up my genetics and I think this will be just the ticket. I know it will be a couple years bf I get bucks out of these fawns but I can already imagine how big they could be.
 
Jared I saw you had bred with say it ain't shadow, what all did you get out of him? Reason i ask is I have fawns from his womb brother "Super Duty" Just wondering i am thinking of breeding my buck fawn back to his half sister to get Super duty or say it ain't shadow on top and bottom. I also have a doe fawn out of him I am thinking of selling or trading and we are breeding the other to the yearlings of matts that you got the doe from.
 
One of the above pedigrees ended up being wrong I ended up with a say it aint so shadow over maxbo doe fawn. She was bred to matt anthony's big yearling that poped its antlers off. can't wait to see what she gives me!
