I breed Standards, you pose them like a meat breed. Buck looks a little flat, doe's shoulder looks a bit long, still not bad to start with, and you got peds!!!!! I like them, but their one of my breeds I'm getting out of. Their no longer on the rare breeds list, they were #16, got bumped by Palominos. Their temperament is very commercial, their spooky and not friendly regardless of handling. They can be cranky mothers, but good ones, I have one doe that deserted her kits because I added hay and fur to her nest, cheesed me off. Growth is not bad, they do need extra time to get to 3 lbs, their lighter and larger than Florida White kits of the same age. I have one doe that is very compact and muscular, and one that is larger with bigger bones. The first one produces smaller heavier more meaty kits. So there is variation in the breed, some are better for meat production. The kits themselves are really cute, like gray teddy bears, have that fat furry face look. They can work as a meat breed, they can and do raise 7-8 kits successfully. Their a fur breed, lovely long gorgeous coat, keep an eye on ring color and coat quality. Thats part of the problem with them, you have to grow them out to Jr prime to see what you have coat wise. Don't know about there but here there's a goodly number of people with them, most show in open. In our 4H club there's 4 kids with them. I like the way they look, like their reliable production and size, don't like their temperament, wish they put on weight quicker. Thats why I'm letting them go and keeping the Floridas, which amazingly enough are a friendlier breed with a lot more personality, go figure. Good Luck with them!
