| Ober-Boerd started in 1999 when my sister Kelsey and I started in 4-H with one Nubian wether each. The next year we added four Boer does (which have since left), and then in the fall of 2001 we added our first three Oberhasli. Our herd is mainly based on the FDF-Pleasant-Fields animals that we first purchased. Over the years we have added a few other notable herds to the genetics we have used, all while developing our own unique "style" of goat. We practice strict culling to keep our numbers manageable and to keep the quality at a competitive level. The main goal of our herd is to produce an animal that is competitive in the show ring, and on the milk stand. We breed for animals who are functional into the later years of their lives, and who look best when they are mature, rather than animals who look great as "adolescents" and fizzle when they should be at their peak. We show our animals between 10-15 rings every year, and when possible at the ADGA National Show. We also participate in DHIR as a means of evaluating our herd, and to use as breeding tools. Please take some time to view the online farm and view each of our animals in more detail. So, grab a cup of coffee (or your favorite drink), sit back, relax, and enjoy our online farm! |
