You have a bunch of bantam roos right?

Maybe you could skin them and sell them as quail, LOL.

lol, not quite that small, and some are LF
i have 2-3 LF roos that gotta go, and 2 bantam crosses that need to go

i was reading up on processing quail and it looks wicked easy, i actually cant wait to try it

Quote: Sorry, yes, I was referring to genetically polled goats - I had remembered that there was a downside. What is the risk of breeding polled to polled?

Thanks for the CV clarification. Your employer requires you to update your resume every year, that's interesting.
No reason to be sorry, I just wanted to clarify what we were discussing. When breeding genetically polled to genetically polled there is a 12.5% chance of producing a hermaphrodite goat, at least some studies have shown.
My employer is the University of Texas System, it's required of all faculty. It's part of the annual review process and they're in the data system - it's a SACS accreditation requirement.

Yeah, that's what I was curious about. I'm interested in a breeder in San Antonio (Texas Skyz, http://www.txskyz.com), they are near me and have nice looking Nigerian Dwarfs (there are another couple breeders around as well, but that's the one I keep haunting). They have polled kids available sometimes. Most of their updated availability is on Facebook, but you can see the listings. I was thinking polled would be easier, and just make sure buck is not polled (I don't plan on keeping a buck myself.) Mostly I'm window shopping.

Fat fluffy face!

Cute!
