"Ron" - Homeward Bound BA Ronald

Ron comes from an excellent local-ish farm with herd priorities and management practices very similar to ours.

We chose Ron for his pedigree of strong rear udder height and arch, combined with his own developing conformation and balance. As he has matured, he has turned into a gorgeous stud with correct structure, good presence, and the kind of build that complements refined does without adding coarseness.

Temperament-wise, Ron is a standout. He is exceptionally sweet with us and very respectful with the younger boys. He does have a sixth sense for when something unpleasant is about to happen and will bolt if he thinks he’s about to be caught for a chore he doesn’t like, but outside of that he comes right up for scratches and treats. He is one of our most mannerly bucks to handle.

From a management standpoint, Ron’s scurs need to be monitored and trimmed periodically, as they can curve back toward his head if left unchecked. He also requires more frequent hoof trimming than some of our other bucks. Neither issue affects his usefulness, but both are worth documenting honestly.
