Thanks Nanno,
I've watched videos and read a lot trying to prep myself. I'm looking at 2 bucks currently. An Oberhasli and the other a Sanaan. Both have good temperament but, I like the size of the sanaan. I'll be crossing with my 2 alpine does which I'm hoping I can get some good hybrid vigor and strength that way. I'll take a closer look with the criteria you've described. Thanks for the info about bottle feeding vs nursing. In my opinion from raising cattle, as far as growth is concerned, nothing is better than a mother raising her babies. We've bottle fed calves and they are always playing catchup with the ones nursing. If all it takes is extra attention I can do that.
