My goodness, he is thin Sydney! He looks like a Saanen to me. Hopefully he can get some groceries on him after the breeding season is over!
We've enjoyed watching les affaires d'amour lately as various does have come in and out of heat. This morning it was Jezebel, and Finn was beside himself with desire. He kept stomping and making the funniest noises while Sputnik spent the day with the tip of his tongue hanging out.
Jezebel was a funny girl herself. She's two and a half years old (same age as Lilly) but has never been bred, so she doesn't quite know how to act around these boys. When Pac-Man first trotted after her she bolted in terror all the way across the pasture before he caught up to her near the house. She soon melted under Pac-Man's gentle wooing, quit running, and spent the rest of the day hanging around the buckling pen and teasing poor, frustrated Finn through the electric fence.
I didn't think Pac-Man would still be this bucky so long after he was wethered, but it's turned out to be a good thing. He is a true gentleman and treats all the girls like ladies. I hope Finn learns from his example. The girls adore Pac-Man even when they're not in heat. I don't have to worry that Jezebel and Delilah will get cold feet when we take them to get bred because Pac-Man treats them so kindly. I don't want a repeat of the experience we had when we first bred Lilly. She kept bolting in terror and we had to hold the poor, trembling little girl in place while she got bred. I hated that!
The other great thing about Pac-Man's bucky behavior is that it will help him lose weight! Pac-Man has been "Fat-Man" all summer and now he'll have a chance to burn that excess flesh off chasing skirts.
