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.

The Fair is Coming SOON!

Can't wait to see how these two do!!! :D

JD has got to be near 80 lbs. Crazy to think just about 5 months ago he weighed a mere 6 lbs. and spent his first night in the house... Wow!

The does! :)



All the kids have been weaned, does are drying up and the yearlings have moved out with the big girls. Bet you can't pick out the yearlings... they grew amazingly over the winter and are looking sooooo nice! :) Yeah, they're a sweet bunch of does. I have to say that all the girls are getting along so well. Usually you have some at the very top and bottom of the pecking order, but I've got a nice level-headed bunch who actually get along. Yay!

Dozey

Dozey went to a wonderful new home with her boy this evening! :) She'll get to meet O'hana, one of our 2014 kids and will be shown at Hartford as a yearling in 2016. Yay!

I love catching up with repeat-buyers. Y'all know who you are... and I so enjoy the time with you! :D
