Hobe Kat is sired by one of the premier sires of the LaMancha breed today. We were not all that impressed with this solid black buck for quite awhile but he really started to stretch out and look the part of a herd sire after we let him start breeding some of our doe kids and even a senior doe this year.

Hobe is going to be a long-bodied buck. His general appearance is powerful and dairy even if he hunched up for the photo. We love the rear angulation and sharpness of this buck. We have kept an eye on his granddam, Ceylon, for several years and jumped at the opportunity to get semen from a buck out of Ceylon. Hobe Kat has already bred several of our nicest young does this year and we look forward to seeing what his kids look like.

Hobe improved as a yearling enough to score 84 +V+. His first daughter will freshen in 2023 (Bricksie) but if his littermate sister, Meadowlark HK Katamaran, is any indication, Hobe will be our udder buck.
