Boer Goats for Sale

The Stormyridge goat herd was developed to graze the undesirable vegetation in the pasture. With a good Ram, the herd has increased and they do an excellent job of grazing off the forage the horses do not like. Some owners lease their herds to various groups for weed control. Boers originated as meat goats but I have never used them in this manner.

Because of their pleasant and docile temperaments they make excellent 4-H project or buddies for single horses. The nannies are excellent mothers and the babies are hilarious to watch as they bounce and play. When I took rams to the sale, they all brought top dollar.

Stormyridge Appaloosa Boer goats earn their keep grazing the various forages in the pasture. A goatherd's work is never done.
