Welcome to Big Rock Candy Mountain Goats!
We are situated near the eastern slopes of the Southern Washington Cascades. Our winters are cold and snowy and our summers are hot and dry. Spring and fall don't really happen for very long but when they do they're beautiful.
From April to October the goats are usually scrubbing for their living in a mix of timber/brush and pasture. 2007 they went through 40 acres of mixed timber and brush and very little grass and turned it into a park like setting where cattle will find more feed in the future.
The hillsides in the photo's on this page used to be choked with brush and thick stands of elderberry and hawthorne. Now they are grassy and wonderful for cattle and horses.
We started raising goats 8 years ago and five years ago marked our first crop of colored boers soon after seeing photo's of Red Boers and Kalahari Red goats and falling in love.
Last year 2007 we were lucky enough to bring home 2 fantastic black boer bucks and so continues our colorful herd.
After seeing Spotted boers we added young Emily and Agatha, two fullblooded Spotted Nubians.
Color - life is full of color - color provides sun protection - it provides solar heating - I just like the look of the colored boers.
Regardless we want these beautiful colored animals to still perform and produce like a commercial herd though. Any other way just wouldn't fit into our lives.
We also keep cattle here and keep horses and various other farm friendly animals. They're all different colors to.
Kids are first come first
serve.
Please take a look around and feel free to
