Since
the day we purchased Meggie Mae, we have anxiously awaited the arrival of this baby. Nothing
could disappoint us with Sunset Acres Racer, being the sire, and Meggie Mae, the dam.
As usual, not long before Joe arrived home, this little fellow pushed his way into
this world and into our hearts. There was absolutely no doubt he was a special jack. It
did not take him long to get his legs under him before he was up running around his stall
letting us know that he was here to show everyone he was the one in charge.
Badlands
certainly wears his gene pool as a well fitting, decorated uniform. With his stout conformation,
straight legs, alert head, and black shiny coat, this SMALL package of energy was commanding
complete attention. Our comments were, “wow, oh my gosh, what a beauty, look how tiny and
straight, don’t see a cross, gorgeous head, spitting image of his mother, now he is really
something special, truly herd sire material, can’t wait for Joe to get home and see this
one.” When Joe finally got home he came straight to the stall to get his first look at this
boy that had caused so much commotion in the barn. He quickly confirmed every comment as
Badlands ran straight to him wagging his tail with excitement, jumping and snuggling, and
welcoming Joe to his stall.
The very next morning Badlands and Meggie were turned
out of that stall to explore the rest of the nursery and introduce himself to the other
mom’s and babies. No doubt he was on a mission the way he let them know he wanted to be
in charge of “the troops”.
