I
liked the kids from this breeding so much, we decided to keep
this buckling as a herd sire (we very rarely keep bucks intact). I really like his
combination of dairy with some masculinity. Spender has a strong
topline with flat bone and very nice rib spacing. He's also very wide
between the hocks with a well rounded escutchen, and has tight hooves
and straight legs.
With his conformation and the udder genetics in his background, I
couldn't ask for a better blend of characteristics. He's a mama's boy
(even though he's quite pungent) and still follows me around the
pasture asking for some lovins.

NO SHOW RECORD
Somehow
along the line, we had ended up with only one of Dusty's doelings after
selling him. We're grateful to have him back in the herd after seeing
the improvements in his offspring. All of his doelings have done well
in the showring. He stands incredibly wide in the rear, with a high,
open escutchen. He has strong, straight legs and hooves, incredibly
flat bone, not to mention the great rib spacing and brisket extension.
He has already proved himself as well in the mammary area of his
doelings, improving udders well over their dam with attachments,
medial, and teat size and placement. Two of his daughters have easily gotten their AR stars as first fresheners, so he's been a huge improvement in "milkyness" as well. Each freshened daughter I have seen milks down to absolutely nothing. Very soft, milkable udders that are full of milk, not meat. We have also been impressed with the front end assemblies and straightness of hooves and legs he has given to his offspring. He's not
the friendliest of bucks so even though he's already gotten a good
start to proving himself with his offspring, he's never made it into
the show ring.
