Please contact us for price and availability. The goats can be purchased live weight at our farm or we can have them processed for an additional fee. Currently we raise high percentage (75% or higher) boer meat goats. We have a Kiko buckl as one of our herd sire to increase parasite resistance and mothering ability in our herd. We also have two Boer bucks in our breeding program.
Black Jack is a high percentage Boer buck. We purchased him on Thanksgiving day in 2007. We were looking for a Boer buck to keep the meat on our herd and produce some showy wethers for us. I fell in love with his color and structure. What a beauty. He is registered at 50%, but in actuallity is probably 75% or more boer. He has produced some beautiful offspring, with lots of color. This picture was taken in July, 2008.

Soloman is a 100% New Zealand registed Kiko buck. We purchased him in 2007 and have breed him to our older Boer precentages. So far he has turned out to be everything a Kiko should be, high worm resistance, easy care hoofs, and hardy. His offspring is hardy and beautiful! His offspring grow faster and are hardier than our Boer.
