Are Kinder Bucks Sterile?

Oh, Pish! This is complete fiction!

A Very Virile Buck- Napoleon

Kinder bucks are not sterile.

If that were true I wouldn’t panic every time a buck got loose with the does.

Kinder boys can be used for breeding just like any other buck and they do all the same gross things other bucks do, too.

Like peeing on themselves. Yes, they will urinate all over their beards, and the backs of their front legs. Evidently the aroma makes them simply irresistible to the ladies. Like many other animals they also do the front lip raise known as a “flehmen response” or reaction.

I can never get the bucks to do it on command…so this water buffalo is demonstrating instead.

See the upper lip? Flehmen.

So now you know Kinder Goat bucks are not sterile.

I’m glad you asked, since other people may be wondering too!
