Its bloomin typical isn't it.  The best ones are always the boys !!!  Been trying to breed a female like this for the last 2 years as the male is mottled, and up until now, only had 'patchy' coloured kids (male and female) but these......are something else......darn it  :P

could you offer them as stud?  try and swap for one similar but unrelated, to get more chance of breeding a female?
  they are beautiful  :)

Would defo keep one back  & also repeat the mating.  Castrate the other one & they can live together.

Colouring like this can't be put in the freezer if the breeding is good enough !!!!!!!! 

Who are the parents by the way ?

Mum is an Ivans and buck is a Klimova.    Mum not been milk recorded although does have a nice udder.   The kids are very prettily marked but IMO heads aren't really good enough for stud males.   I had a male kid last year who had 'splashes' of colour on him and he had a fabulous head and he went on as a stud male, but these two are rather 'feminine' looking.    :-\     The dam's Mum is due to kid in a couple of weeks to the same buck and so 'fingers crossed'  ::),
