Fandango!
May 2010
We are
currently getting Fandango! exposed to a few does and look forward to
seeing what he will produce. Based on what we currently see, we
suspect that Fandango will be a later maturing animal.

We are thrilled to express how happy we are with Fandango and the
handsome buck he has become!
Fandango's growth pattern seems to have been a 'coming into one's self'
around the age of 8 months when all the pieces of his growth came
together and WOW! What a FINE animal we now see!
We are looking forward to seeing what Fandango is going to produce on
Machismo daughters!!! We think it will be a phenominal blend.
Keep your eyes on Fandango-he IS the new and upcoming buck that we hope
will add to our growing list of show winning show wethers!

May 15, 2010 - Fandango! Update
The
first Fandango kids are on the ground. We have seen a consistency in
the kid crop out of Fandango! who is putting VERY SHOWY and VERY FLASHY
kids with lots of flare on the ground.
Fandango!'s kids are all
long of leg, long bodied, long necked. These kids are tracking very
wide in the rear and have a gorgous stance. They move with lots of
flare as well. Real eye catching kids in overall appearance and how
they move. Fandango's kids are also gaining added rib shape and ALL of
his kids are getting that CLEAN front end that juts up straight out of
the bottom of the chest floor and up out of the shoulders!
Fandango
was bred to a limited number of does last year. Fandango does best
when bred to a heavily muscled doe-the uglier and the thicker the
better. He'll add 'pretty' to whatever you have-there is no doubt
about that.
As a result of how genectics typically represent
themselves phenotypically - Fandango's wethers tend to run thicker
bodied than his doe kids.
We are retaining several of Fandango's
doe kids to observe growth patterns-Fandango peaked in his own growth
and 'look' at age 8 months. We are watching to see if this patterns
holds true in his kids and to see how much muscle the doe kids gain as
they mature. Fandango's doe kids will be bred back to a buck with
P-O-W-E-R to add muscle back into their very showy frame. We believe that cross will yield some VERY NICE results in
showy kids with increased muscle mass.
Our best show wethers this
year were sired by Fandango.

June 27, 2010 - Fandango! Update
It is with a very heavy heart that we announce that we are listing Fandango 'for sale'.
Fandango has produced some VERY showy and FLASHY kids for us this year.
And though Fandango has been very consistent in what he is
bringing to the table in the way of kids...... it would appear
our doe herd is not yet consistent enough itself to fully utilize ALL
the fabulous things this buck gives to his offspring.
The best show wethers this year came out of Fandango. These
wethers came out of our most heavily muscled does. We feel that
we need to add a tad bit more power into our does before we can fully
utilize all the very wonderful thigns Fandango brings to his kids and
have decided to let him move on to a herd better able to appreciate his
features rather than feeding Fandango the 2-3 years we think it will
take us to breed in the kind of power we feel we need in our does.
We will be keeping most of the Fandngo doe kids produced this year and
breeding Fandango back to the best crosses we made this year as
evidenced by the resultant kids. In addition, we are also going
to breed Fandango to the top 6 does we produced this year out of
Machismo and have retained as replacement does for the herd. We
fully expect the results of these breedings to make us regret the fact
that we have posted Fandango 'for sale'.
Herd downsizing and the need for more time to produce more musclar
does, so that we may fully utilize what Fandango brings to the
production table, are the ONLY reasons this buck is for sale. We
hope to capture the best of his essence in the breedings currently
taking place here before the buck leaves.
This buck WILL produce WINNERS!
Inquiries into future kids sired by Fandango are
welcome.
