Oak Apple Ayumu

My sweet Mu-Mu. I have a very special place in my heart for this guy, and he will never leave my property. He was very ill with what the vet eventually determined was BSRV induced pneumonia when he was young, and I nursed him back to health over several months, so he’s my baby. He has taken quite a while to mature, but he has been worth the wait! Mu has very tight shoulders, excellent length to his body, and has slowly developed a width and depth to match. He has wonderful rear legs that track perfectly straight, and a strong back. His dam, Mizuki, had gorgeous attachments and that longevity we like to see. He continues to sire my favorite kids–not only are they structurally correct, he imparts his sweet nature to them. I’m very happy that he is my main buck. His first daughter just freshened, and she has the best udder of any doe ever born on our farm. Mu also has very good rump width and length. I would like to see better rump angle, and I do wish he had stronger front pasterns, but he has so many other extremely valuable traits that it’s easy to overlook a couple minor faults.
