SRMGA Breeders Spotlight: Boerdom Farms

We got started raising Boer goats in the spring of 2016.  We had just purchased our first home on 11 acres.  The property had tons of overgrown weeds etc.  So our original mission of getting some “weed eaters” turned in to a love for Boer Goats.  They not only cleared our property in no time, they brought a ton of playful hours for our 2 young daughters .  We started out with 10 does.  We knew that we had to sell 5 of those because 10 was way way to many!  After having great success selling those 5, we realized the potential. 

Now we have around 30 does, a few doelings, the family pet wether named Jumpy, and 2 registered Bucks.  Their really isn’t one specific area we completely focus on.  We like variety and all aspects of the business.  We have the meat buyers, the “spotted” goat buyers, the fullbloods, the purebreds, and the 4-h wethers.  That always makes for an exciting kidding season. With that being said, we are trying to improve our genetics though and get more into the showing aspect and all around herd quality. 

I think our favorite part is the joy it brings to our kids and the family time we get to all spend together with them.  If it’s just out in our field, or driving 500 miles to a goat show, the time is always well spent and enjoyed.  Also the value they learn from taking care of animals, feeding, birthing, and keeping healthy.  Another one of our favorite parts is seeing all the 4-h kids come pick out their wethers. 

I think we would have to credit our friends Fred and Shawna Fonseca with getting us into goats.  They helped us get started and they continue to help.  But there are to many great breeders around this area to mention all of them that have also helped us continually.
