Blackbuck

[I'm bit]

I need a lesson on Blackbucks, how long does it take to grow a mature one, will the older ones kill younger ones, when do they breed, do high fence guys try to separate mature Blackbucks? Stuff like that

By "grow a mature one" I assume you mean a 20" blacked out male? Typically at least 3-4 years depending on genetics and feed. They are pretty territorial and do fight but rarely kill each other. They seem to breed all year but are heavier in Spring and early fall. Cool animals that can populate quickly in an area, but predators can be hell on the babies...

Reach out to my cousin Herbie here on TBH. He raises 'em high fence cross the road here in Harper. He had a pair fight a few years back and one got killed.
He is growing one for my daughter in law.

Don’t need a high fence. Goat fence works just fine

This is true...Blackbuck are not known for jumping fences. Cuz has them mixed with other exotics. So they get the high fence treatment with the ones that can jump fences easily.
If you wish to grow your own...Take a look at www.Razlivestock.com
Good place to get and grow your own if you have the property.

We are going to put them on our place once the fence is complete. 48" field fence with 3 strands of barbed wire and field fence dirt skirt to try to keep predators out. Grass can be limited during hot weather. Do they eat other stuff or just grazers?

They are like goats , make sure the fence has no weak or open spots.

Especially in the corners.

Especially if hogs are present. They will find, exploit and widen those openings from the outside.
I have seen it. BlackBuck can get you a AG exemption also
