2013 Western MD Pasture Based Performance Goat Test Program

June 2013

Follow Susans blog!  The University of Maryland gives a wealth of parasite based information............so important for producers to consider!! 

We placed 1 buck on the 2011 program. His sire was AABG BDV Kicks on Fire.  His dam was solid black.  

September 24, 2011:  This buck made the test sale!  He was 1 of the 11 out of 80 on test that was offered for sale!  He was high selling buck........which is quite an accomplishment for a Boer on a pasture test with Kikos & Savannas!

 

The goats were worked every two weeks to determine weights, FAMACHA©, body condition, coat condition, and dag scores. Individual fecal samples are collected bi-weekly.  Pooled fecal samples were collected every 4 weeks.

We are participating again in 2013!

 We feel it is important to prove our breeding stock value through non-biased testing programs.  Any producer can claim "posts good weight gains" or "is parasite resistant" for the sake of making a sale.  Losch's Riverview Farm has proven statistics on our brood stock to validate our claims.
