I only have two does, so I just have a small handful of kids each year. I am in Eastern Washington and have Alpine/Ober crosses. The Obers come from a line of large boys. I don't disbud, and my kids are dam raised. I found this produces much larger healthier boys. The 9 month old buckling I kept for my string is bigger then the one year old bottle babies. I also found that by interacting with them daily, makes them just as friendly and bonded as the bottle babies. There is no difference in friendliness with my dam raised kids to the bottle babies. Trinity Pack Goats will disbud, and Circle 33 Packgoats in Moses Lake has some big yearling boys from last year. Good luck on finding your boys
