~Farm History~
In 1998, my husband (Stuart) and I purchased a 50 acre farm in Port Royal, Pennsylvania which borders the Juniata River. We both had an interest in farming and raising animals. . . . and so the saga begins. Stu began raising registered Black Angus cattle, but sold his herd when upgrades & renovations were needed on the farm. My interest in goats began in 1998, with two brown & white spotted Nubian wethers (aka “Bill” & “Bob”). I became intrigued with their personalities and the endless mischief they got into. Raising goats is a bit addicting. You can’t have just one! I began researching the Boer breed & purchased my first 100% Boer buck in 1999, along with a few non-registered does. Over the years, I have kept offspring from the various breeding bucks I used. Each generation brought a higher percentage of Boer and better quality of goat. I currently have approximately 65 Brood Does, most of which are high percentage & full blood Boer.
Over the years, my herd has evolved. I have progressively purchased higher quality Full Boer Bucks to add muscle mass & heavy Boer breed character into my herd. Colored Boer goats are of special interest to me, as you will see in my bloodlines. I am focusing on increasing the color in my herd without sacrificing Boer Goat Breed Standards and good weight gains. The breeding bucks I have used over the years have increased the height, length, loin depth and leg muscling in my herd's offspring. Our Herd Sires have produced spotted, dappled, red, black, paint and traditional colored Boer Kids! What an additional bonus!!
Please visit "Our Goat Nutrition" page for information on our feeding programs. "Our Focus" page gives a detailed account of where we are headed in the future.
We would be happy to give you a tour of our farm, or answer any questions that you may have regarding purchasing or raising goats. By utilizing sustainable principals of agriculture, we are able to offer Boer Goats For Sale of exceptional value and genetic composition...........at very reasonable prices!
The photo on the left is Dottie, who is part of my spotted and dappled Boer Goat breeding program. The photo on the right is Ringo. Ringo is part of my colored Boer Goat breeding program. My husband created a large rock arrangement in the pasture closest our house. The goats love to climb & play on the sandstone rocks, which is helpful to keep their hooves worn down. The rocks are appealing to the human eye & also attract the goats..............which comes in handy for checking them out for any health issues while they are turned out to pasture.
Our Spring 2010 kidding is now complete! A total of 33 kids were born to 5 different bucks. We will be offering show wethers & a few registered Boer Bucks for sale @ weaning.
Most of our goats are sold without ever being posted on the internet......so if have a special request, please contact us to be added to a list!
Our 2 main herd sires are pictured below.
The new kids & weanlings from the Winter 2009/2010 & Spring kiddings are impressive!
