Boer Goats
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
Hensbury Farm spent 2006 and 2007 purchasing some of the finest show goats from well established producers in
Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania. We had some successes despite my inexperience in the show ring including the
Grand Champion Percentage Doe in the OMGA September Spectacular Show. Since I have a small farm, I only have
room to breed the most correct, best mothering, meatiest goats.
This February, the brood does have produced a fabulous crop of meaty wethers, well balanced does and perhaps a
buck or two well worth breeding, we'll see as they grow out.
Click here to see our wethers for sale this spring. Wethers will sell for $100-$300 each. You are welcome to visit the
farm in Waite Hill, Lake County, Ohio, to check them out in person anytime. Just call me at 216-832-4495 or e-mail me
at hensburyfarm@yahoo.com to set up a time. Wethers will be ready to go home by mid-April (or I can keep them until
school is out if you prefer). Payment is due at time wether is reserved.
Below are pictures, descriptions and pedigrees of a few animals. (I plan to get them all documented in the next couple
of weeks.) All animals except Mercury, my gentle giant of a buck, are for sale. I only keep 7-10 does to breed over the
winter and I like to keep a mix of ages and some fullblood as well as percentage does so I'm happy to sell older
experienced moms or doelings. Does are bred naturally and kept on forage with limited pellet supplement over the
summer as I believe they should be managed and selected for breeding to live up to their fundamental purpose as
easy keeper, efficient, meat producers.

| Hill Place Mercury 12/31/06 Not his best picture but you can see how he's deep with a broad chest and meaty backside. Notice how far apart his eyes are, a classic sign of a big muscular boer. Mercury is a lamb to work with, a trait he inherited from his father so I'm assuming his bucklings and wethers will have a similar disposition. His father is the enobled Downen Pipeline's Sparkplug and all of his grand parents and great grandparents on his sire's side are enobled including Pipeline, Lobola S.A., Downen Big 85 and Mojo Magic. He is the herd sire for all the kids born this February 2008. |
| Notice how deep this doe, Hannah, is. She also has that long elegant neck and sturdy bone structure the judges are looking for. She is successfully mothering 3 babies at the moment. Wish I looked that good less then 24 hours after having babies. |
| This doe, LBCS Bates W30, won Grand Champion Percentage Doe at the 2007 OMGA September Spectacular. She had one enormous doeling (10 pounds at birth) with no problems during her first kidding. |
