Meet Rue. His father is Thalictrum and the common name for that flower is Meadow-Rue so we named him that after his sire. We are calling him Rue for short. He has a beautiful first freshening dam who can be seen below. That little doe has massive potential so we are eager to watch her freshen again in the future and see the udders this gorgeous boy can produce here too. Rue has been with us for a few months now. He is growing and maturing beautifully. He is extremely skittish but his drive to breed has made him so much easier to handle. He waits at the gate now and allows me to take his collar to be taken to the breeding pen and sometimes for walks on lead. I'm very pleased with the way he's changed his demeanor. He is still flighty but better now. A bit about chocolate coloring for those who are not familiar with it. Chocolate coloring is dominant but not on the body pattern locus. Istead, chocolate body coloring only affects the parts of the body that are black. For example. If its a solid black goat genetically and it received the dominant chocolate gene then the goat would be solid chocolate. But if the goat receives chamoise like Rue did and the chocolate gene as well. Then the goat would be normal chamoise coloring, but the dorsel stripe and legs that would normally be black would be chocolate. So Rue can pass down his chocolate body coloring to his kids. About 50/50 chance. We also have a few chocolate does, Potsie and Anna and they both are currently bred to Rue so there is a much higher percentage of chocolate kids possible with this breeding.
