🐐 Meet the Herd: Morning Wood
Yes, that really is his registered name. 😂 And while we can’t change what’s on his pedigree, we’re still deciding what we’re actually going to call him around the farm.
He came to us as Woody, and the nickname may stick…but we’re not completely sold yet. More on that in a minute. 😉
Morning Wood is the newest addition to our Nigerian Dwarf herd, and so far, we couldn’t be happier with him. He settled in almost immediately and has proven to be an exceptionally sweet, easygoing guy. That’s something we especially appreciate in a buck—many of the boys we’ve owned over the years have tended to be a little more skittish or temperamental.
His personality actually reminds us a lot of Bang, one of our longtime bucks, which is about as good a compliment as we can give him.
Of course, we didn’t bring him home just because he’s nice. His pedigree is promising, and he brings some much-needed genetic diversity to our herd. We’re excited to see what he contributes when breeding season begins this fall—and eventually, what his daughters may bring to the future of our dairy herd. 🐐🌿
But first, we have important business to settle…
Does this guy look like a Woody? Or does our newest herd sire need a new nickname? 😂
