Well, its better to know because now we can figure out the next few steps.
First, we will have to contact the breeder we purchased him from and see what they will offer.
Next, we have a rather large animal with no purpose that we are probably going to have to transport to an auction, to sell for meat. Some cultures enjoy the flavor of buck meat, so there is some value there.
And...we still have the problem of how to get our Saanen does bred. We could breed them to the Nubian buck we have here, but that would mean cross breeds, which are not as valuable for resale. We could artificially inseminate. We can also see about getting another buck. My son brought our buck to be evaluated at a buck collection in another state, and there will be quite a few breeders there so he may have some leads on a new buck when he comes home tomorrow.
We'll just wait and see until then. The first step in solving any problem is to know there is a problem, and we have done that part!
