What a bummer day...
Well it looks like I won't have hardly anything to show at convention. My juniors just didn't turn out like I thought they would. Bummer. The most disappointing thing is that I learned one If my does carries malocclusion as she has passed this on in her last 2 litters. Ugh :-( So that line will have to be culled. Sorry for the lack of photos in this post....just a bit bummed.

Right there with you! :( I did a TON of breeding and have a bunch of junk that's eating me out of house and home. I'm going to do a big herd reduction I think and clear out the less than stellar stuff.
Do you really think there is one specific gene for malocclusion? I don't know that I believe that, seems like head shape and teeth genes would all be involved. Malocclusion is rare in Dutch, so I would appreciate other's expierence in this area.
Awww bummer, Lindsey. :-( I don't know what to say but I'm so sorry to hear that - hugs!
Awe! Yep, after the 22nd, 7 buns will be leaving me. I think its good to do herd reductions from time to time as it keeps you from being barn blind and focused on what needs improvement. ;-) As far as malocclusion, I'm not sure how genetics play a part other than from experience I had one buck that produced 3 out of 5 babies with bad teeth no matter what doe he was bred to. This doe's first litter produced a singleton and it had bad teeth so I culled it. Now I've noticed on her one and only baby I kept from a different litter(different buck) also has bad teeth. So that's 2 out of 2 litters for this doe. So from experience I do believe that there is a genetic component to malocclusion. Butting teeth are different, they can correct in young babies. Butting teeth at 5 months of age is a different story though. lol
