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.

Our Bucks

Wagner is a fullblood Boer buck, born in 2008. He was given to me when he was 4 days old. He was a triplet and his dam rejected him. I raised him on formula, but when all of our kids that were 3 weeks younger than him passed him up in height and weight I switched him over to goat's milk. His scruffy coat disappeared and he outgrew the other kids. He is now a year old and is looking great! We can't wait to see his kids!






Backsplash is a high percentage buck (not registered). He was kidded on our farm in 2005. He's a very laid back buck. He throws lots of color in his kids. We've gotten many paints and reds out of him. Backsplash may be up for sale in 2009. Inquiries welcome.

Backsplash has been sold,
but we're happy to say his genetics still remain in our herd.

Thank you, Stacie, for your purchase of Backsplash!
