I am having a bit of a dilemma. I got 2 nubian bucklings and plan on turning 1 to a wether. I dont know which one i plan on castrating. What is max age of getting your bucks weathered. I wanted to wait a little before making the decision on who gets the knife.
Next question is whats more desirable to breed physical characteristics or mental ability and personality? If i wether one i lose those genetics forever. My dilemma is basically if i keep the favored goat intact i would have his genetics to carry on but the remaining wethered goat may be a less then desirable goat for packing. At this point since im so new to this sport i was thinking just whether both of them and rent/borrow a buck to breed with my alpine/ober doeling.
