On the Linebreeding/inbreeding thread, Tiny's Mom mentioned that it seemed to her that a lot of Flemish that have that big broad head (I will try and post pics of my buck as example) tend to have heart problems. I have one buck, two and half years, who has an enlarged heart on one side. I have kept his son, Sammy, who also has the broad head, mostly because of the head. Ben, the older buck, has been my herd buck before his heart problem was discovered. I need to do some research on this, and find out if the "big head" really is linked to heart problems, because obviously if this is true I will need to get a different buck, and I guess get Sammy neutered or something, cause I know I can't give him up.
