Goats

We just love our goats around here! They are attentively watched over, as all livestock should be. We raise them naturally on alfalfa mix hay, natural grain mixes (controlled amounts!), medicinal herbs, natural wormers, grazing and browsing, and treats from the organic gardens. NO chemical additives!! The lady running this place has been raising goats for over 18 years, and is a Naturopathic Doctor and Certified Nutritional Consultant, so she knows a thing or two about how to do it natural.

We have South African Boers, Nubians, Boer/Nubian crosses (we call them NuBoerians), Kikos, Savannas, and high percentage crosses of these breeds - and coming soon will be Oberhaslis! We have traditional South African Boers along with paints and solids. There are also some very interesting colors and patterns in Nubians and in our Kikos. If you are looking to get into the raising of meat animals, then you will want to highly consider some of our crosses. Hybrid vigor pays off in a meat herd! We work hard at breeding a meaty, well conformed animal that show excellent parasite and disease resistance - our focus is on providing quality breeding stock and top food animals. We do not sell our culls as breeding stock! Every animal offered for sale here is something we would happily keep in our own breeding herd, or it just isn't advertised for sale as a breeder. We have a meat market for the rejects from the breeding program. "Average" Just Won't Do!

Since we know what goes into these goats, we are never worried about what we are serving our family when we utilize our caprines for food, be it for meat or for dairy products. Our caprines are a healthy, hearty bunch, ready to entertain you, be your loving pet, chew your weeds, pack your belongings into the mountains or down the trail, haul you or the kids and grandkids around in a cart, give you milk or meat or add valuable kids and fresh bloodlines to your current herd. They are of a high enough quality to take to the biggest goat shows, and priced well enough that anyone can start or obtain their own herd.

While we appreciate a well-matched top pedigree, we also appreciate the ADG's (average daily gains) and the meat and milk we can obtain from the goats with or without a registration paper - after all, we don't eat the papers! That said, our main bucks are registered with their respective registries, DNA testing has been done where required (and desired), and they are all excellent examples of their breeds. Most of our does are registered, with the exception of our commercial herd, although there are plenty of registered animals in there too, so that you have choices as to what you wish to do once you take these animals home. Rest assured you get what you pay for here!

We offer a variety of wethers ready for market, young doelings and bucklings for your breeding programs and show plans, and sometimes older does for those of you seeking a personal natural organic milk source or fresh genetics for your existings herds. We can also put together starter herds for you. Market goat classes are really blooming now for 4H and for FFA. We and several of our customers have had many champions from this herd. Pick out your winner today! There is something here for everyone!

Genetics

We were fortunate enough to obtain some of the War Lord/Geronimo genetics, Bingo (ennobled) genes, does bred from 7A+ Boers, and coming very soon will be a fabulous addition from Circle R Boers! You'll find many ennoblements and foundation lines in our herd of Boers.

We have brought in some top Kiko and Savanna lines and are building our herd to reach our goals of maximum meat on a frame and hardiness.
