Boers
 HEADING IN!
BOER goats have been in the herd since 1996. Adding meat goats made sense with the demand for goat meat and Boer breeding stock what it is. We were talked into showing our Percentage Boer does in 2002 at a fair. I was already there with Dairy goats so why not? I kept what I always felt were my BEST % does to breed. I was very pleased to see the Judge felt the same way with one of our young does getting the Jr. Ch. Percentage win! Needless to say this got us into showing Boer goats.
We added Full Blood Boer does fall of 2005. We have always used FB bucks in our breeding. We plan to introduce some outside genetics with AI in the Boers just like we do now with the Saanens. Our Boer herd is small but nice. We are striving to produce quality breeding stock with our Boer herd. My ideal Boer female should be productive with multiple kids each year, milk well to feed her 2-4 kids and be an excellent mother. She should be able to do this for 7-10 years. She naturally will have to be sound and of correct meat goat style. Bucks should be correct in structure plus have length and width with heavy muscling in all the right places.
Our Percentage does are descended from some of our top Dairy lines. We have Lamancha/Boer crosses with some 88% females STILL showing ELF EARS! That tiny Lamancha ear is a strong genetic trait; however the cross is one of the best for muscling and carcass quality! Most of the % does have eared kids now. As the old gals pass on that earless trait will be lost.

Malta has a classic Boer hear-wide deep muzzle, strong jaw and good width all through her body. She was still nursing one of her triplets so is a bit thin in this photo but you can see she is sound. DEEP DARK RED traditional head makes her a stand out.

ROCKY RUN ACE’S MALT-O-MEAL Born 4-13-06 FB
Malt-O-Meal was on the small side her first year so we held her open. She has now caught up with the other yearlings and is living with Turbo to possibly have December kids. She is wide and stocky looking much like her dam, Malta.

ROCKY RUN ACE’S MISS PRISSY 060726229 Born 4-18-06 FB
This doe named herself-she was just ‘Prissy’ and full of herself as a kid. She still has a mind of her own. Her color is darker then her dam, Mimosa, who has that neck patch on the same side.
