So I went to wether an 8 week old buckling this morning and found that he only had one testicle descended. Turns out he is cryptorchid. He was destined to be wethered as he doesn't fit my standards of being a registered breeding buck. The vet fee to surgically remove his undecended testicle would cost more than I could ever sell him for. I can't band his single testicle because he would still be receiving all his bucky hormones so he would look like, smell like & act like a buck. I have read that I could band him and that there is a chance that he would be infertile because his body heat would not be favorable for sperm. If someone was looking for a good teaser that would be an option. So this leaves me in a pickle. I have decided to leave him intact and sell him as a pet breeding buck.
