New additions to the ranch

[hillcountryhunter]

We added three young Blackbuck (2 does and 1 buck) to a pasture of the ranch a couple weeks ago. They seem to be acclimating well and we look forward to watching them grow and multiply.

That’s a fat looking Javi!

They multiply like rabbits! I put 1 ram and 3 ewes on my 122ac in 2018. I bet I have 8-10 rams and twice that many ewes now.

Have you brought any more rams in or are there any issues with inbreeding with only one ram to start the herd?

This pasture is surrounded by a 5’ net wire fence with a single strand of barb wire on top. Everything I have read and talked to folks about says they won’t jump that unless pushed. They have water, all the food they could want and very minimal predators inside this 25 acre pasture.

How much does a starting herd cost?

Congratulations…should be fun to chase.

How are the blackbuck doing ?
We want to buy some for our place too

I heard prices have gone up. Makes sense because everything else has !

Do you mind sharing your cost and seller ?
