Hello and welcome to the
official FVH Boer Goats Blog!

We are a small scale farm in Ohio. Each year we kid anywhere from 10-15 high percentage boer does. We kid in mid to late March (and also kid in February for some buyers).

We sell to 4-Hers, private breeders and people just looking for a pet, companion animal or brush clearer. Our goats are extremely friendly and easy to handle. One of our yearly 4-H buyers once commented, "Half the battle is already won when you open the back of the truck and the kids don't run away from you." We've been told by numerous buyers that our kids are some of the friendliest around. Aside from that trait our kids do well in the show ring. They are well muscled and have good conformation. Our goats have placed as grand champions as well as first, second and third places at county fairs around us. In 2007 a wether born and bred on our farm was shown at the Ohio State Fair where he placed in the top five of his weight class.

Wethers
All of our buck kids are dehorned when/before they are a week old. They are then banded at two months old. We have found that wether kids have better rate of growth when left intact for this amount of time.

Does
Doe kids will be dehorned if a deposit is put on them before they are a week old and it is specified that you would like them dehorned.

Health
All goats that we sell are up-to-date on CD/T vaccinations, are dewormed and in excellent health.

In the case that you contact us and all our kids are sold you may still set up a time to come see this year's kid crop and decide if you would like to put a deposit down on a 2015 kid.

Note: All photos on this website are of our goat herd. All of the photos of goat kids are kids born and bred on our farm. Our goats are high percentage Boers (96% and above), but they are not registered. Our two bucks are fullblood Boers.

Congratulations Monica and Morel!


It's so fun to be able to go to the fair and watch 4-Hers show goats they've bought from our farm! Monday we made the trek to the Hartford Fair for the Meat Goat show to see Morel. He looked so nice and was as friendly as ever! He even remembered what L had taught him before he left our farm... to shake your hand! :) 

The market goats are exploding in popularity at the Hartford this year! The classes were all huge! There is now talk of an addition to the goat barn to accommodate all the goats. 

The market goat classes were exciting as there were some really nice quality animals there. Morel paraded into the arena in line with all the other goats and proceeded to place first in his weight class! He came back in the arena later for grand champion and reserve grand champion judging. The judge picked out the four top goats that he would choose his grand and reserve from and Morel was in the top four! The judge kept looking at Morel, but in the end chose two goats from a higher weight class as grand and reserve. 

We were all really happy and proud of our little Morel! Congratulations, Monica!

We're looking forward to next year and another set of showy wethers!
