Aster has a touch of attitude, although he leans more towards the shy side than anything else. Which is kinda odd for a buck, they're usually the outgoing ones. But he has nice wool and is a good fluffy bun even if he isn't as outgoing and friendly as some of the other bucks. He is our only albino buck and will be meeting up with a few more females at some point this year. I don't think he will be meeting up with any albino does, though, since that would produce an 100% white litter which can be kinda boring. It's always fun to see what colors show up in the various litters.

He does produce a lot of silky soft wool and has a dense coat. In one of his pictures, he just got sheared and looks pretty silly at the moment.

Since Aster has a lilac sire, we know that Aster will have the ability to sire chocolates and dilute colors such as blue.

Here's an assortment of Aster pictures. The bunnies here at Hillside Farm just get their pictures taken in a haphazard manner so there's no specific ages or time when they get their pictures taken.
