From Moonspinner Farms: Nekoda (Cody), Buck #2

This is our second buck, Nekoda or Cody, who is scary cute looking here. One of the things we were told to watch out for was "don't fall for a cute buck with nice coloration, look for a good buck and then look for cute".
Cody is both - he has an impressively high judged score of his conformation and his up-and-down black just is too cute for words. He passes his coloring on to his kids easily too. Very nice.

Like Amador, he has an impressive lineage. But compared to the others, he is an "outcross", which is bafflingly some of the breeders we are buying from, but we are biologists and inbreeding is not the goal.
