It’s A Small World

I can’t keep that song out of my head this morning. I was emailing someone yesterday about a Boer doe I am interested in. She must have gone to my website to check me out too. The url is in all my emails so it wouldn’t have been difficult for her, because she wrote back that my buck, Mick (CJM Mighty Mick), was a really nice buck. What made it most exicting, besides having a big time show breeder say I had a nice buck, was that she also let me know in a later email that she’d owned Mick’s grandfather, RENAISSANCE LUCKY SPIKE, a few years ago, and he was a wonderful producer who put big, meaty kids on the ground. I was thrilled.

When I’d first bought Mick I tried to do some research on his pedigree. I didn’t turn up much except that his great-great grandfather was a son of a big name buck called Eggsorcist. That was nice to know, but it wasn’t all that much info. Having someone say they’d personally owned one of his recent ancestors and what a good buck he was was quite a thrill. I didn’t really need that to know that Mickey is wonderful and will produce fantastic kids for us, but it sure is nice to know.
