This past year the only thing I really wanted in my Argente Brun litters were does. I tell you, I tried breeding by the moon phases for does, I have tried breeding by Zodiac signs, I've tried folklore remedies and old wivestales. Heck for amusement purposes I may have even tried tribal dances, and processed my fryers in the name of the diety that promises does.

Why am I so desperate for does? Consider this, this year so far, I have had not one, not two, but three Argente Brun does born. Yes you read that right t.h.r.e.e. as in 3 I am quite frankly so desperate for does I literally tried every trick in the book to ensure I got them. Not that it worked, of course that's just silly, but it was fun.

So my herd mainly consists of bucks right now, very nicely typed bucks at that, very nicely typed bucks, with great fur and colour, bonus. So it does not bug me right now that my buck to doe ratio is so embarrassing that I won't post it. Heck I usually don't have more then two litters at a time anyways. So in the grand scheme does it matter I didn't have very many does born?

Yes. 1000x YES. Bucks are great but they can't have litters to help promote the breed and sell to new breeders.

I've come to terms with the fact I will be bringing in a new doe hopefully by the end of the year.
