Yes I raised ADGA purebred Nubians for about 10 years. I then got married and we moved out on 40 acres and I switched gears and got a very high quality Boer buck and I have been breeding towards a goat that can work the land for us and not require all the labor my dairy herd did. In a couple years, they really went from pampered goats to hard workers. They browse almost all their own food and our pyrs do a great job keeping them safe.

Ultimately, I want a heavy weight of the boers on a taller goat like my Nubians that I can still steal some milk off of if I want to. All of this in an animal that takes as much advantage of the land as possible.

We have horses, a few cows and goats. The goats are far and away the best users of our land here in the Ozark hills. They continue to find forage in the winter keeping their feed costs easily the lowest of the three.
