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.

Hartford Fair

Good Hartford Fair morning to everyone! We'll be there on Monday, cheering for Laska, Leenda, Peponi, Goose, Kawaii, Pete, Rudy, Pecan, Ohana, Shawnee, Glow and Peanut! Good luck 4-Hers!!! :)

I'm going to get fair pics, but for now here is a pic from this morning of our yearlings, Sweet Baby Rae and Seney with a chicken. ;)

The Does

Apparently it's nap time at the barn this morning. I walked out to find Ipo, Pied, Divine, Envy and Zhenya all cuddled up against the barn. :) Goofy goats!

Story Time!

Her goat is literally trying eat her homework... ;)

Good Evening and a Thank You...

Talk about a beautiful evening!!! All the kids have been sold and have gone to their new homes. We are left with only the three doelings we are keeping. It's quite different out at the barn with most all the kiddos gone!

Thank you so much to our 2014 buyers! We are so thankful for the chance to meet all of you and for the fact that our kids have such wonderful homes! :)

6/16/14

Good Morning!

What better way to start the day than with a pic of Zhenya with her happy face on? ;)

I'll be missing my ol' buddy Delmar
 after he is picked up this weekend too...


Ah the cuteness of Delmar!

Boys

Pete isn't here to complete the trio of Kaya's kids, but I thought I'd share the adorable lovey dovey cuteness of Everett and Delmar. :) Everyone was waiting patiently (or not-so-patiently) for their grain when Everett stuck his nose through the crack in the door and started maaaing at me. Delmar followed suit. :)

5/24/14

Is there...

Is there a costume class at the fair? I think these two have some pretty cute costumes going for them... ;)

Growing Girl!

Leenda checking her weight for the week! ;)

Pecan

The barn is feeling quite empty right now with all the kiddos leaving for their new homes. I'll tell you, it has been sooo fun having all the 4-Hers and their families here to pick out and pick up goats! Buyers, I've enjoyed getting to know you all immensely! I'm glad our kiddos have homes with you! 

Here's Pecan, just hanging out, waiting patiently for his girl to arrive. :) 


Gotta say... I love our kids!!!

5/15/14

Nothing like sharing a Dum-Dum with a kid! ;)


Midas now looks for suckers whenever you're around. They must be Bubble Gum flavored though. Root Beer and Blue Raspberry will make you turn up your nose. 

heehee!

Goose


Sweet lil' Goose went to his new home today!




Home

All the kiddos have been going to their new homes. While we miss them being here on the farm we are super happy for their wonderful new owners. They are all going to have such a blast with these amazing kids!!! :D

Sweet Baby Rae

Sweet Baby Rae looks like a chunky little beef cow! ;) Safe to say, she is one SOLID girl! I think she and the other yearlings are ready for dry weather... (if you look at the first pic it kinda looks like Sweet Baby has part of Seney's body! haha!)
