TAMUKs and their cousins, the Composites, were bred in South Texas. TAMUK is Texas A&M University - Kingsville. They were bred to withstand the heat, and the bucks don't go sterile in the summer. They have a lighter coat, and less fur on their ears to help dissipate the heat. They regularly throw large litters with great grow out times. They reach 4-5 # in weeks. There are FB and MeWe groups for both if you need a local breeder.
