Thanks for logging on to Pima Ranch Boers site. In-case you're wondering what "Pima" stands for - its Pain In My A**! Yes, anyone who has ever owned a goat would probably agree that they are the biggest pains in the rear end that you've ever owned, but how can you not love them? We acquired our first Boer goat at one of the Bassmaster Elite Series Majors back in 2006 in Ft Worth Texas. The owner of WestBay Marina had boer goats and we ended up staying at his farm during the tournament. I started helping with bottle feedings of a young buck whose mother rejected him. After a week of looking into those adorable eyes, I was sad to say goodbye and that's when the owner offered him to Mark and I as a pet. Of course we said YES! And that's how Walter came to join our family. (he's named after the marina owner)

A condo in Scottsdale Arizona isnt exactly the ideal home for a Boer goat so Mark and I began searching for a place to call home. That's where we discovered 320 gorgeous acres in Vian Oklahoma. It ended up being a turnkey operation as we got the tractor, jeep, 2 horses and even the owners border collie. (gotta have something to herd those goats, ya know?)

That was 2006. Fast forward to 2008 and we acquired our first show buck, Chics Crave Me. At 90 days old, he stole my heart and thanks to Hester Ranch in McAlester Oklahoma, I now own the sweetest boy who is turning into something to watch for in the show ring. We've always ribboned at each show I've shown him in to include Top 5 both days at the Fort Worth Stock Save show. Not bad to finish 4th behind three ABGA judges!

We're also continuing to add more show does to our program to use as both flushes and in the show ring. We choose does carefully regardless of whether they will be used as receipt does or show animals. They need to possess the ability to be good mothers, have good confirmation and be the picture of good health.

We breed some animals for 4H and FFA projects and others for the ABGA Open shows. This year, the reserve and grand champion meat goats in Wagoner and Sequoyah county came off of my farm. (See Pam Udderson in the doe page as they were her twin wethers).

We hope that you'll continue to check back to the newest ranch happenings here and follow show results and check back to see Craves first babies that will be here Fall 2009.
