Blanc de Hotot Buck x Satin Doe litter at 25 days


Here is the same litter at 25 days. There are two pretty lightly marked kits, see the two with no moustache markings? I can't wait 'till they are 8 - 10 weeks old to better determine their type.


I have a pure HT buck in mind to be the sire of the F2 generation. He has taken a couple BOB's, but he is a little undercut, not rounding all the way to the table. He has good type and always gets the comment "nice buck", "good buck" and he has great fur and eye bands. I'll probably use him with my HTxCA cross line too.

Remember that my goal with these cross lines is to develop a parallel line in my barn. I am keeping a "pure" HT line that is being bred selectively within itself. This is a line breeding project.

The Californian and Satin cross lines are to be kept as separate lines, using the pure HT line to improve fur and markings.
