Boer Goats  are a meat breed developed in South Africa. They are hardy goats with friendly, docile temperaments. Unlike some dairy breeds, they are not hard on fencing and tend to be very quiet. Like all goats, they do require shelter from the elements (goats don't like to get wet!), good quality feed and minerals and clean water. They are large goats with bucks weighing upwards of 300 lbs and does in the 150-200 lb range. Boers were developed to raise multiple kids with ease, twins and triplets are the norm for them. They cross well with several dairy goat breeds (Nubians and La Manchas, for example) and other meat goat breeds (Kikos and Tennessee Fainting Goats, for example), producing kids that gain an average of a half pound a day.

The typical Boer goat is white with a red head (called 'traditional coloring').  The red may range from light to dark with orange, brown or reddish-black also being acceptable.  Solid colored (red or black) and paint (white body with red or black patches) Boers are also becoming increasingly popular.  Solid white fullblood Boers are not allowed.

All of our goats over 6 months of age are tested annually for CAE (Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis) and CL (Caseous Lymphadenitis).  Additionally, all goats over one year of age are tested for Johne's Disease annually.  As of September 2009, our herd is negative.  We perform regular fecal checks and de-worm our goats as needed.  We vaccinate our goats annually with Calvary 9.  Every goat we sell will be properly tattooed and will be sent home with its registration papers (or a registration application) and complete medical history.

Our goal is to produce animals that perform well at home and in the show ring.  We strive to keep our animals in exceptional condition.  We want our buyers to be happy with the goats they purchase from us whether they are buying breeding stock, show prospects, pets or meat animals.  Please contact us anytime with questions about our goats or goats in general.  We'd love to have you come for a farm visit!

We are members of the United States Boer Goat Association the American Boer Goat Association and the Cascade Boer Goat Association.  All of our breeding stock is USBGA registered and most are ABGA registered.
