Bought this guy at an annual on-property sale yesterday, from one of the top studs in Australia. He is 14 months old.
Phezulu Heath
Check out the people pokers on him!
For those of you familiar with goats, these are his figures:
2nd fleece: Mic 24.6 --- SD 5.7 --- CV 23.3
3rd fleece: Mic 32.3 --- SD 7.7 --- CV 23.7
Body weight: 52kg
He is by Mallee Park Ned, out of a Phezulu doe, so he has quite a bit of South African blood, with some Texan influence.
He was my third choice from the buck lots, unfortunately my first choice buck was the last lot, so as you know that makes it difficult. I bid hard and fast on the one I wanted, because I knew the bloke who would be bidding against me, but my maximum was 1200 and he straight away bid up to 1300. I gave up -- the way it was going that bloke would have kept going to 2000+. This guy I ended up with was passed in (about 50% were passed in for not meeting reserve), and I bought him privately after the sale for 400 (all the animals ended up selling either in the auction or privately, except for one).
So what do you all think? (pretend he's a Highland if that helps)
