[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1634202, member: 24016"] Band him asap, but beware he is still able to get the job done, so to speak, with a band on for several days. Also be aware that once you whether him, you will have to be more mindful of his diet for the rest of his life. His entire nutritional intake should be balanced to ensure his ratio of phosphorus to calcium is at least 2:1, if not 4:1 to prevent urinary calculi. It can be done easily, but you need to do a bit of research to make sure your feed/forage balance correctly. If he gets UC, it will at the very least, cost some vet bills and at the very worst kill him. As for the doe, I'd bet she is a pygmy and a few months old based on horn growth. Be aware, if she is full pygmy, she won't get much bigger in stature. The buckling looks to be a Nigerian Dwarf cross and at least a year old based on horn growth... [/QUOTE]
