N/C.........Baby Boers!

[Boot Jack Bulls]

Around our place, its not just calving season, but also time for spring kidding! Here are some candids from the barn this week (the lighting leaves something to be desired).
Photo 1 is a 3 week old son of our herdsire Austin and his dam is standing behind him in the pic. He is a weather prospect we are planning to show and already weighs 33 lbs!
Photo 2 is one of our 3 year old does that is raising a set of quad bucklings sired by Austin. They are 4 days old in the pic.

Great looking baby!  My daughter will be a senior next year and has decided that she wants to show a goat again (it has been 6 years since the last one) for her last year.  They are so much fun.  Good luck with him.

Thanks for the kind words! We usually only show breeding stock, but he is just to good to pass up. And he likes to show! Here is a pic of our herd sire Austin taken last April. He hit the scale at 306 this afternoon!

Those are some really nice looking goats! Keep up the good work and good luck.

We are almost done for this round of fifteen does to kid out, only four left to go! We have had several sets of twins, three sets of trips, and one set of quads so far. All of the kids born are sired by Austin or are out of his daughters and a junior sire we purchased last spring. Here is one of Austin's yearling daughters with her first set of kids, a pair of doelings.

Thought I would throw in a couple pics too. First year with Boers. Frist one had 3 the second had 4 but only 3 survived.

Nice looking kids Frostback! I really like the looks of the doe in the first picture. Looks like you are off to a great start with your new project! (thumbsup)

I love goats but my hubby won't go for it. Something about fences..... Anyway, your boers are very cute! Thanks for sharing! (thumbsup)

Anyone who says they have goat proof fencing is lying! But at least the Boers are inclined to stay where the food is! And having cattle dogs that are obsessive about the stock being where it belongs is a help.  <rock>
