I currently have 6 does and 3 bucks. I was just wondering what the ratio is normally for bucks to does? What do you all keep for a ratio? I only have 3 bucks right now because my oldest male is related to my second oldest but my third is outside lines.
 
I keep 3 does and 1 buck, he can take care of them all! But if you want color variety or specific confirmation traits it would be normal to have a couple of bucks:)
 
Yes I think I have the 3 given color differences when really my focus should be on production and meat lol. My American Chinchilla produces likeness with my Red NZ does, his son is a fawn colored version of that who throws beautiful light red NZ colors and I picked up a White NZ buck last night so that I can hopefully add that in the mix. I've got bunny math going on and I need to focus haha. Having a back up buck is good but 2 back up bucks probably unnecessary. Thanks
