Kleid was a wonderful buck for us. He threw terrific kids, wonderful milk quantity, color and conformation and he was one of the foundation goats of our herd. We could not have built our herd without this terrific buck! It's sad that his dam passed away as I bet she would have done great! We kept his son Flash in our her when Kleid was gone and he is keeping Kleid in our herd still. The very first year we milk tested Kleid earned his +B from his daughters we had in the herd still. He was a great loss, but his genetics will be in our herd for years to come.
Unfortunately we had to put Kleid to sleep on 9/26/04 after a serious leg injury. Kleid and Klinger helped us build our herd. Kleid will be greatly missed, he was the sweet tempered spotted buck Yvonne searched so long for! We have decided to keep Kleid's son Flash, since God blessed us by Flash not selling before Kleid's passing.
Show record: We took Kleid to the Mega Buck show two years. We showed him there in 2002 and he won 2nd, 3rd and 3rd in a class of 7. In 2003 unfortunately there were only two in his class, but he took 1st all 3 times times.
