That's a trust your breeder thing. The references I offered were simply facts about the breed. Saanen are very calm compared to the many breeds I've encountered. Friendly & excellent producers, too.

I seen a big billy in with a herd of cattle, and in nothing but a 5 strand barbwire fence. I stopped, watched and scratched my head, thought to myself... anything is possible.

I have 4 or 5 peach seedlings that have sprouted. I sowed them late last fall in a kiddie pool. The pits came from O’Henry peaches. Which is bonanza peach, possibly crossed with an unknown nectarine. O'Henry was released to commercial growers in 1968. I really liked the unique mild flavor of O'Henry peaches. But I don't expect an O'Henry peach to be produced from the pits. I am however interesting to see what peach the new trees will produce, after several years.

4 seedlings have survived, had zero issues with diseases or pests, that is really encouraging. However like my other peach trees they need frequent watering. The seedlings aren't no more than 2 foot tall. Which is pretty tiny even for a newly sprouted peach. I'm pretty sure they have reverted back to a bonanza peach which is what I was hoping for. Bonanza is a natural dwarf also known as a patio peach. I think I can find some places to tuck these little dwarfs in and see what becomes of them.
