Egypt Creek bucks look good at recent photo shoot

I guess folks are starting to think about the fall breeding season already because I have gotten several calls about the bucks I have listed on my For Sale page on this blog. I've had Maximus and Saxon listed there for months with few calls, so I haven't bothered to update the photos. The ones I have there were taken last winter. Earlier this spring, no one looked too good with rough coats and thin bodies. I wasn't excited about taking any pictures then.

I had to confess to one caller Friday morning that I had not even seen my bucks in at least two weeks. I promised that I would try to get updated photos and post them. In the back of my mind I was hoping they were still alive — and healthy.

I was pleasantly surprised when I drove the mile down the blacktop road to their pasture and found them grazing and lounging near the road. I was even more surprised and impressed at how much weight they had put on in the last month. Everyone was slick and you could see the muscle tone as they walked by. These guys have had no supplementation since around February and no deworming in recent memory.

I also manage the Rittenhouse Kikos herd and have their bucks in with mine, so I have those bucks' photos posted here, too.

I managed to get good photos of everyone but "G" and "HP". They are definitely camera-shy. I took their photos anyway but I will try to do better next time.
