Here is the latest updates on my 5 new little Ben Lomond Packers:
"Forest" = 71 lbs. 3 oz. = 109 day old
"Kruze" = 65 lbs. 3 oz. = 109 days old
"DaKota" = 60 lbs. 10 oz. = 110 days old
"Kody" = 67 lbs 8 oz = 104 days old
"Bridger" = 70 lbs 4 oz = 83 days old
Yep...still happy with the outcomes so far with these five little guys. BTW, I pick the first three from Dwite on Wednesday morning...WAHOO!!! As noted the first three have quite amazing genetics and bloodlines...all five will create quite the diverse and well rounded backgrounds. That all said, it appears my two little LaManchas may be pretty amazing as well. I just found out that "Kody" & "Bridger's" dad = 195 lbs = 15 months old. Pretty good considering LaManchas are considered late bloomers, it will be interesting to see where they all end up.

"The Three Amigos": L --> R = DaKota, Kruze & Forest (All have same 100% Ober sire)
At Birth: :At 47 days:
- Forest = 11 lbs 3 oz (50% Oberhasli ---- 25% Alpine ------ 25% Boer...a triplet)
- Kruze = 8 lbs 13 oz (50% Oberhasli ---- 25% Saanen ---- 25% Boer...a triplet)
- DaKota = 9 lb 11 oz (100% Oberhasli)
At 73 days:
- Forest = 34lbs 10oz
- Kruze = 30 lbs 3 oz.
- DaKota = 25 lbs 10 oz.
My two 100% LaMancha kids:
- Forest = 47 lbs 7 oz
- Kruze = 41 lbs
- DaKota = 38 lbs (*74 days)
Kody:
Bridger:
At Birth: : (Both have same sire...100% LaMancha)Today:
- Kody= ? lbs ? oz (I can't seem to remember or find it right now but update this thread when I do)
- Bridger= 12 lbs ? oz (Single)
I am hoping that they all will hit or nearly hit 50 lbs or greater by 90 days. Reason being, is I have read there is a general rule/trend that if a kid hits 50 lbs by 90 days that it is likely to be over 200 lbs when fully grown and mature. We shall see but it is looking likely for all of them...DaKota may be the only exception but I'm betting he will be really close to 50 as well.
- Kody= 51 lbs 14 oz (*72 days)
- Bridger = 46 lbs 12 oz (*54 days)
Yep...pretty happy with their progress.
