She looks just like a doe we have. Dished nose and short ears even the same light almost mouse brown color. I would think that she is almost the same breeding. Our doe is 1/4 Alpine 1/4 Nubian and 1/2 Boer.

We have always sprinkled the stuff you put on your plants to kill bugs called seven. pounder it good and thick over the shoulders back all the way back to the rump and rub it in. It has always worked for us and it reasonably priced.

We usually wait till our boers are about 1 and years old. They will kid out when they are almost 2. We use to breed them when they were a year old and about 125 pounds but our bucks would throw too big of kids for the yearlings to safely kid out. We also noticed that the yearlings we bred...

I don't see anything wrong with that. If you are not breeding for ABGA standard boer goats. And honestly we are starting to get away from that too. We have been focusing our herd more on market wethers and less on breeding style animals. If your doe is able to raise and feed her offspring...

We have about 75% that throw 2X2 teats and the others are 1X1 teats. We have two does that throw fish teats or extra teats but there kids are always sold for market wethers and market does to area county fairs and they always do well so we keep the moms. When it comes to market goats you don't...

Does she have boer in her? Her gold almost looks like a red roan (mix of red and white). So I would say she is a red roan paint with spots. Very pretty :D

We do a partial lease every year for area youth. We have a set of rules that the families have to look over and sign they include having to come out to feed, bed, water, and walk the animal. Also when medication needs to be given or hoof triming we have them come out to help hold the animal so...

We raise boer goats and I LIKE 2 X 2 teats. The reason is that my 2X2 does produce as much milk as my 1X1 does but there udder attachments are 100% better. And yes they are almost always all or at lease 3 teat functional. All of my does have originated from the same lines too so I don't think...

I can not get an image on the link you suplied. Is he stiff legged or are his pasturns week? We have had kids whos hocks go in on the back legs so the lentire leg looks like a strait line they usually correct themselfs over time if that is what it is. A picture would be great. depending on...

I did make a member page with some pictures on there. It is under Blufftonboers. I have a few babies on there and some yearlings. Just getting the hang of it :D

I am a bit late but ***IO*** ;) We are from Allen County (Ohio) They have to be 9 as of January 1st and in 3rd grad but can start out in clover buds at age 5 if it is offered in your county. Call or email your county extension office and they can get you hooked up with a club. It is like a...

Thanks I am enjoying the site already I have been looking through past posts and have been learning alot. I am a 4-H advisor and will keep you guys in mind if any of my 4-H kids are looking for that type of breed to show at the fair. Nice to meet you :)
