Boer Goat Course 2024
The Boer Goat Course is about selection of the Boer Goat, in what makes the ‘Boer’ Goat what it is by phenotype. These aspects are important to keep the breed looking like the breed it is, easy to recognize by its large roman nose and predominant head, the large frame and footing, long, wide, and balanced.
All of these things are a small part to make the larger picture.
2024 is another great year to learn from Anton Ward, someone who carries on the tradition of teaching others how to select the Boer Goat as they do in South Africa.
Spend two days with Roger McSwain, Kathy Daves, and their assistant, Rico Zaldivar, learning more about the selection of goat stock and why certain aspects are important.
Sky’s Heavenly Homestead
Showmanship is something I am very passionate about. I love showing and competing against my friends in the dairy goat industry. I am so excited to share with the younger kids my knowledge and hope that I’m able to become an amazing mentor, like the ones I look up to now. I am part of the Dairy Youth Goat Camp Youth Team Leaders in 2024, as I have won the Youth Goat Camp Showmanship Championship two years in a row. Now it i time to teach others how to be successful also.
