In 2007 I sold Richard & Sandy Norman a solid brown doeling named BRC Bear's Beauty. I didn't know at the time how bad Krystal Clemmons wanted this doe! As luck would have it, Krystal purchased Beauty's dam, BRC Crystal in 2008. A week before she actually purchased Beauty from Sandy. Beauty was bred to Richard & Sandy's buck, FLNS Max and delivered healthy twins for Krystal in May of '08. Sadly, the doe that brought us together passed away shortly after leaving behind this young orphan, Belle. Belle had a hard start, always sick and having complications. You wouldn't believe that that is her in the photo, winning Reserve Grand Champion at the Southwest Washington Fair 8/2009!! This young doeling connects both BRC Boers, Summitview Boers & Richard & Sandy's Boer Goats.
And yes, Krystal Clemmons happens to be sporting a BRC Cowgirl T-Shirt!!
The below goats for sale are not mine. I do buy all of my Nubian's from this herd though and they have all tested negative for CAE, CL and Johnes. Please contact John Miles 1-509-281-0730
Beautiful!!! Name Chiffon, pureblood calico Nubian Spring 2009 doeling. For Sale $250
I just found out this little girl is sired by my Indiana. As far as I know this is Indy's second black and white spotted kid because he sired another black and white spotted that was born here but born too prematurely to make it.
5 year old registerable pureblood Nubian buck. Sire to MY Alaska and Indiana. This buck gives his kids a nice amount of width and length with a more level hip than is usually found on Dairy goats. Making them a better choice for breeding for meat and crossbreeding in my opinion.
Buck is huge and was mistaken by a neighbor for one of his steers.
They would actually not mind having this buck back in a couple years.

Pureblood Nubian milk doe.
For Sale $75.00
This is Velvets first freshening. She will most likely fill out normally next freshening.
Don't think they'd make it in the cross breeding with Boers? Check out Kally at the bottom of Sandy and Richards doe page. Kally is a Hainline Nubian. Hainlines feed for milk and not for conditioning or growth. A little bit of alfalfa and good pellets or grain???? I believe Chiffon and Kally are around the same age.

About our turkeys:
Turkeys are wonderful to raise. Our Turkeys are brought up to the feathered stage in an expanding Brooder in the barn with a monitored temperature and lots of day light exposure. They are fed grit and high protein turkey starter during these first few weeks.
After the brooder, when they are fully feathered, they are introduced to the pasture in a safe pen where they live for around 2 weeks. We move the pen to several locations to keep them in a clean enviroment. They eat grass and bugs- grit and grain and clean water are provided by us during this time.
After their exposure to pasture they are moved to the Poultry house. This is where they learn of their roost and where their other feed sources and water sources are. This learning process only takes a few days after which they are let out every morning- with a few handfuls of grain for breakfast- and then they go out into the world to discover all the food that nature has to offer them around here. Every evening they will return to their safe roost after learning of their newest home. We lock up the Poultry house to protect them from coyotes, bobcats and other predators every night and let them out in the morning.
We care about their health and development NOT how fast they grow. We also like them to grow for several months for a better flavor. Even with eating strictly on range they can get huge with in a few months. Most likely due to the high quality proteins and vegetation they have access to.
We are raising Bronze Turkeys and heirloom turkeys of different kinds.
We run out! Since we aren't a huge commercial farm we raise enough and a couple more for the orders we have. To get on our no obligation 2010 Turkey list simply email us at michelle@brcboers.com. We will send you a newsletter when the chicks arrive and keep you informed of their development.
Most people only think of turkey for Fall and Winter Holidays but we enjoy them year round; for special family dinners, to roast and put away the sliced meat for sandwiches, to take on camping trips, 4th of July, Super Bowl Sunday, family reunions and so many more occasions that can become a little more special with a roasted or deep fried free ranged all natural whole turkey.
Fresh Turkeys are processed not more than 48 hours before you receive them.
About our Goats;
We Love our Goats too!
Our goat herd has gone from very small to way to big to alot smaller and way more enjoyable in it's ten year history. We try to feed and medicate as naturally as possible. Goats have taught us so much about caring for livestock and have been our most consistent providers of meat and milk.
Our Doe goats kid(have babies) in the late winter and early spring. This is easier on them and their kids and is not intended to meet any market demands during the year. During the spring and early summer they are on pasture, which makes the Spring Kid so wonderful. When you think of a Spring Kid compare it to a Spring Lamb.
Most of the world is much more aware of the goat than the general public in the United States are. This has changed a lot in the last several years but still is not considered mainstream like lamb is. I like spring lamb, but Spring Kid is so much better.
After the hay has been cut in early July the herd is allowed access to all the other fields and may roam to different pastures depending on their own will. And they change and eat where you would never expect them too. For some reason they will choose weeds over alfalfa. In the winter they are at the barn for their own protection and eat all the locally grown amazing eastern Washington alfalfa and grass hay they want. All of our sunshine makes wonderful feed.
We have beautiful goats that we select for conformation, kidding and mothering abilities and instincts, parasite resistance and clean blood tests for the few diseases that are so damaging to the goat industry. And for those that have known us for a while. Their color. We will offer only limited breedstock and would like to see our breedstock go to families wanting to raise their own meat. We use Boer goats for the most part. Our breeding sires, bucks, are from pretty excellent ennobled lines.
As we organize our CSA shares we would love to know how people feel about the size of the CSA shares.
Would a 10lb share be too much?
Whole spring kids are 75$ not counting the butchers costs.
Breeding stock is available at differing prices
About our Chickens and eggs:
Our range chickens are very special birds. Bred in Europe to more easily adapt to a free range lifestyle our Label Rouge meat birds are a much tastier answer to the commercial meat chicken. Most commonly called the 'Free Ranger" chicken in the U.S.A. We chose them, despite their higher price than the Cornish cross, because of their performance on range and hardiness and taste.
Our particular stock comes from a small family farm hatchery. They obtained their stock from France.
Please do not compare our chickens to the mild tasting commonly grown meat chickens, the cornish cross. They are incomparable. And suitable for chefs in the home kitchen and chefs in the gourmet restaurant both. They do not grow as fast but have comparable size that just takes a little longer.
Our chicks arrive and go into their brooder in the big barn closest to the house and are carefully monitored to keep them warm and well fed and watered. Their litter of soft wood shavings is changed every other day and they remain in their brooder until fully feathered. Then they are moved to the Poultry house. They must be protected from arial predators as well as ground predators until they are around 2-3 pounds so they are allowed free run of the poultry house and secure yard until we feel they safe from owls and hawks and ravens. At which time they are set free onto pasture and range every morning. Every evening they put themselves to bed in the Poultry house to roost for the night.
Our Buff Orpington chickens we chose for our egg layers. They are our favorite egg laying chicken because of their broodiness and good mothering. And we think they are gorgeous. We keep them through their non egg laying times of moult so our eggs may become scarce at certain times of the year. We have one Buff Orpington chicken that has been our only chicken for 3 years and she is 7 years old. She still lays eggs here and there and thinks of herself more as a goat and barn cat companion than a chicken. She has limited patience for our small family of muscovy ducks but occasionally will socialize with them over a handful of tossed corn. She will be foster mom to all of our incoming chicks. We hope to have free range pasture eggs available in June.
