When we got Wiggy at 18 months, he
had already won Reserve Junior Champion (at 6 months). He has Twin Creeks
all over his pedigree and their emphasis on udder production was a big
selling point. When we got him, he was at an awkward stage of adolescence
and so we decided to let him grow some more before we decided how to use
him. What a difference that made - the past year and a half has matured
Wiggy into a compact, but strong “dairy” buck with rear width that exceeds
Cody.
Wiggy is a
well-shaped buck with a shorter frame than Cody. He has great width in
front and especially in back and a widely sprung set of ribs that show
great capacity. His skin is very dairy and he carries himself with a
“spring in his step”. A very lively addition to our bucks.
We used him
extensively in 2008 and are very excited to see the mammary systems from
his kids. Wiggy has done
wonders in improving body width, dairy skin, medials, udder texture, teat
size and placement, rear udder height, and capacity. Just one
comparison of Mina's
and Tetris's
udder easily shows the improvements his genetics brought.
