2005 Pictures with the original 17
2006 Pictures with the addition of the 75 Spanish
2008 Pictures Hilltop Farm Boer Goats started in 2005, when we purchased seventeen commercial does. Then we purchased 75 Spanish does out of Texas to add to the herd. We have culled based on worm resistance and mothering abilities as well as confirmation and now run between 50 and 60 head of does. We have kept back some of our own doelings and added a few new bloodlines to our herd. As of now there are 18 registered does and the rest are commercial grade. We kept some of the original Spanish does as well as some of their kids and are using them to crossbreed with the Boers to get a hardier goat that performs better. We will continue to register our doelings to add to our herd and to sell. We decided to focus on raising show wethers and replacement does instead of selling directly to the sale barn. Most of our kids are sold off of the farm for those two purposes.
