This is Bucky. He was born on January 3rd, 2019. When he was three months old he and his mother Susie spent six weeks on exhibit at the Houston Livestock Show as part of the AgVenture display. All went well, they were a hit. Here is Bucky today.

I was not sure about him at first but as he grew, his confirmation began to become clearer. He has a straight-ahead alignment on his front feet and a wide set to his rear. His gait is straight and long. From the side he appears to have a wide, deep body. I still don’t consider myself very good at discerning good confirmation but I fell better about Bucky.

To illustrate, I though Sonny (See previous post) was the one to watch at first. His body still looks god but as a bull, I don’t think he has the right traits to breed good stock. So… last Tuesday, Sonny became a steer. It appears he will keep his small stature. He is in training now and doing well. Hs is friendly and I think he’ll make a very nice pet animal that will respond well to people.

So Bucky will likely go on. His disposition is good. He is responding to the halter well and his lead training is coming along nicely. I hope to get him in a couple of smaller shows this summer and fall, see how he does, and go from there. If he develops as I think he will I plan to put him for sale.

His video is on the sale page.
