Jake is sitting right in the zone of what I’m aiming for with Sentia. His type leans toward an older-style commercial build with a slightly longer midsection. I’d like to nudge the high point back just a bit in future generations, but he has very good width and respectable depth, and he balances well overall.
He’s a big buck without being coarse, and he grows quickly where it matters. Temperament-wise, he’s easy to work with and steady, which I don’t take for granted in a buck his size.
Environmentally, Jake has been a good test subject. He came through hot, humid Indiana summers without stress or foot problems and handled the Arctic blast and negative temps this winter without losing condition. That kind of consistency is exactly what I’m selecting for.
In the litters he’s sired so far, he’s throwing fast growth and width pretty reliably. We looked over a few young bucks out of Cookie last night that are already coming in thick and promising and should make solid Sentia herd bucks for breeders following the project.
Color-wise, Jake has the blanket pattern I’m looking for in the Sentia standard. The only thing I’d tweak is more even distribution of the black spotting, but overall the pattern is doing what it’s supposed to do.
I’ll be watching how his offspring mature, especially how type holds as they age. Happy to answer questions or hear thoughts from others following the Sentia line—this project moves forward best when people are actually looking and asking.
