What’s the pedigree of your champion?
WV- Iconic x Bounds 2370 (Trip Advisor)

KS- Not Tonight x Btw 114A (El Jefé x Soldier Boy)

How many does do you flush or run?
We run about 60 head of does between donors, ai does and recips. We are currently working on renovating our pasture to expand our lots. Last year we flushed 4 donors and artificially inseminated around 15 does. This year we flushed 6 and A.I. around 18. I am excited to continue expanding!

Who’s been the most influential female in your herd?
With it only being the second year of flushing and competitively raising boer goats, I believe our Bounds 2370 doe hit it out of the park this year. All of her wethers won something this year and I am lucky to have 3 daughters out of her! I believe her legacy will run deep the next few generations in our herd.

Favorite industry sire?
I truly believe in females looking like females. Therefore, I let all of the fuzz, bone and muscle come from the sire side of things. This year I was really impressed with our Iconic’s. We have used him, his son “Giddy” and “Ham Gravy “on almost all of our does!

What has changed the most in the last five years in your herd?
I always believed in our female base. We were trying to raise replacement does and still sell market wethers for county fairs and jackpots. Last year, I really wanted to step up our program and incorporate more flushing and to do that we invested more into our donor base.

Favorite show animal you’ve seen?
It really is hard to choose one just because I had a lot of favorites growing up and showing competitively, but Jaci’s Reserve at Kansas was pretty special. Anyone that saw my social media posts of him as a baby can probably tell he was an outlier since the beginning. So much so, that we even considered keeping him a buck. Unfortunately, we are not on that spectrum yet, and I am happier he went and achieved something bigger.

Grand Doe – Rock the Boat x PCR 101 Barbie (Not Tonight x Stork 660)
Reserve Wether – Rock the Boat x JF 1117 Sam (The Answer)

How many does do you flush or run?
We focus on quality and as high end of customer service we can. Our family runs 30 Boer does and keeps around 30 recips. We try maintain around 10 flushes a year.

Who’s been the most influential female in your herd?
JF 9127 Caroline has absolutely been the most influential doe in our herd. Before she was sold to Schiefer Livestock in Bucyrus, Ohio she made her mark on our program.

We were fortunate enough to utilize her and her twin The Answer to generate an elite doe family that is heavily influenced in our program. JF 9127 Caroline and/or her brother The Answer were on all of our goats at State Fair this year at least once if not twice.

Past successes of this doe family:
– 2020 Reserve Doe Kentucky State Fair
– 2021 Grand Doe Kentucky State Fair
– 2021 Reserve Doe Kentucky State Fair
– 2022 Grand Doe Kentucky State Fair
– 2022 3rd Overall Doe Kentucky State Fair

– 2024 Grand Doe Kentucky State Fair
– 2024 Grand Wether Kentucky State Fair
– 2024 Reserve Wether Kentucky State Fair
– 2024 4th Overall Wether Michigan Livestock Expo (Raised by Zollman Livestock)

As well as countless division champions and class winners

Favorite industry sire?
We are ecstatic to have bred and house Rock the Boat. Not many sires can boast that they sired the Grand Doe, Grand Wether, Reserve Wether, and 4 Division Champions at a State Fair in their rookie season.

We look forward to utilizing him and his sister JF 2304 Jolene (Grand Doe Kentucky 2023) in our program.

What has changed the most in the last five years in your herd?
We have had tremendous growth in our businesses the last 5 years. A large part of that comes from the relationships we have built. Breeders from across the country have shared leading genetics as well as their friendship and mentorship. 
New innovative ideas on how to multiply quality livestock have made a large impact on our operation. In addition, great families have fed our goats. This has made it fulfilling to go to the barn and keep pushing to make the next generation better to set our showmen up for more success. 

Favorite show animal you’ve seen?
Jackson had the opportunity to travel the country with the Hoyle family as Frank was shown the fall of 2021. Incredible run for a show goat.  The Flushmate set of brothers Frank and Allan convinced us to invest early in Not Tonight Semen and made a large shift in our operation.

What’s the pedigree of your champion?
I Am Legend X 1962 (Reserve Grand Champion Doe at the 2019 Georgia Nationals)

What was this goat like as a baby?
He was extremely exotic, big boned, with lots of shag.

Who’s been the most influential buck or Doe to your herd?
We have SO many bucks and does that we truly love and appreciate their influences on our goat herd.  We try to keep multiple genetic bloodlines to create our own outcrosses within our program.
We have SO many favorites, and different reasons that we deem certain animals as influential. It is hard to pinpoint just one, but if you look at revenue: the buck who generated the most revenue, and many champions, for us last season was I Am Legend (sire to Brisco’s wether), and the 2nd highest generating doe last season was 1962 (dam to Brisco’s wether). That genetic combination was destined for something great! 

Has there been anything about your operation that is unique that you haven’t seen in other places?
There are several things about our facility that we think are pretty unique and are definitely very user friendly. Our kidding room and flush system allows us to move flush and AI groups in and out of the jugs in a timely manner, and is simple to keep clean and sanitary. Our working chute (from Australia) allows us to work large groups of does without having to handle each of them individually.

Do you prefer Online or live Sales?
We love both platforms equally. Live sales allow us to interact personally with customers, and online sales let customers from across the country who can’t be here in person the opportunity to purchase livestock as well!

What’s the pedigree of your champion?
Revoked X Juice

In your opinion, who has been the most influential buck across the industry?
Very loaded question. There is a ton of bucks out there that could be extremely influential, but semen isn’t being sold on them. I think it’s very dependent on what you need in your herd for what can influence you the most.

What makes your operation run smoothly?
Having a dad who plans stuff for every minute of every day. Haha. But really having a plan is the most important. You can’t just wing it.

What does your breeding season look like? Do you AI or flush most of your Females?
We do our fair share of flushing and AIing depending on the time of year. We do most of our flushing from June to October and then most of our natural kids are born after April 1.

How has the new reproduction practices impacted your herd?
Splash breeding has allowed us to get more does bred to younger/better bucks while not giving the bucks an opportunity to get hurt.

What’s your dream as a producer?
We are living on the dream. Getting to do what you love is the actual dream.

Do you prefer online sales or live sales?
Depends on how many goats or who you are trying to sell to.

What’s the pedigree of your champion?
Hidden Treasure X ICE

What was this goat like as a baby?
He’s always been solid, his recip didn’t do the best job so he was definitely skinner than a few.

Who’s been the most influential buck or Doe to your herd?
I don’t know that you could pick a direct one. Just a few that come to mind are Colt, Wrangler, Grey Goose, X-Rated, Juice and HT for bucks. Then for does I would have to say 4030, E738, 931, 5146, E098, 3036, E336 just to name a few

Has there been anything about your operation that is unique that you haven’t seen in other places?
Very hard question, but it is unique to have the numbers we have. 1800 goats, 500 sheep, and 300 cows keeps the 4 of us busy every day no doubt.

Do you prefer Online or live Sales?
We like to have a good mix of both. During a live sale we think it’s important to have a company like CCI.live to make it more available.

What’s the pedigree of your champion?
Reserve Grand Champion Arizona National:
Good As Gold X Who’s Your Daddy X Soldier Boy

Reserve Grand Champion San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo:
Russian Princess X P67 X Knock Out
He was the flushmate brother to our new herd sires Thunder and Lightening. His dam was a Division Champion at the 2021 NAILE shown by Paige Pence.

What was this goat like as a baby?
Both of these wethers were very complete, good on their feet and legs and were definite stand outs in their sale groups.

Who’s been the most influential buck or Doe to your herd?
We have SO many bucks and does that we truly love and appreciate their influences on our goat herd.  We try to keep multiple genetic bloodlines to create our own outcrosses within our program.
Some of the bucks would include: Star Buck, Who’s Your Daddy, Soldier Boy, and several of our current sires like Russian Princess, Moose, I am Legend and Drago!

Has there been anything about your operation that is unique that you haven’t seen in other places?
We love our kidding room and working facilities. We feel that these facilities are unique to our operation.  Our kidding room is set up on a grate floor and flush system like you would see in large hog operations and our working chute is one that was designed and used in large commercial sheep operations in Australia.

Do you prefer Online or live Sales?
We actually really like and use both platforms almost equally.  They each serve a very unique purpose and help us serve customers from local to all over the United States.

Who has influenced you the most in the industry?
We have been blessed to have had many mentors not only from within the goat industry, but from all of the different livestock industries.  Learning from and appreciating successful people no matter what species they raise is something that we have done for a long time.  We admire those who have had success and longevity within their specific species, within an ever changing industry!

Arizona National – One & Only x Ellie donor (Safe Deposit x Swamp Boy)
National Western – One & Only x Went Swamp Boy donor
Fort Worth – One & Only x Ellie donor (Safe Deposit x Swamp Boy)

In your opinion, who has been the most influential buck across the industry?
No doubt there have been several but She Said and Cash In are a few in this one’s pedigree and several others that have found success. Too many to list but lots of them originate from the Texas Hill Country.

What makes your operation run smoothly?
Our family… it takes each and every one of us and we all have different skill sets that compliment each other. We’ve had excellent mentors in this goat deal… learned a lot from bumps and bruises along the way but had lots of great advice from a lot of great people.

What does your breeding season look like? Do you AI or flush most of your Females?
Pretty much all ET work here.  2-3 big flushes a year for different target age groups but rely heavily on embryo transfer.  We are probably busier during breeding season sending semen or breeding does for others than we are on our own stock. Lots of customer lap AIs, semen shipping, and internal ET work for us.

How has the new reproduction practices impacted your herd?
Allows us to run an elite pool of donors (30 hd) and shorten generation intervals quickly.  It’s also allowed us to help several others pick up steam in their operations as well.

What’s your dream as a producer?
Help others win!  Not just in the show ring but in life!

Do you prefer online sales or live sales?
No preference – They are both a bunch of work!

What’s the pedigree of your champion?
Hidden Treasure X Jager

In your opinion, who has been the most influential buck across the industry?
Very hard question, there has been some huge legends in the industry, and I would say a buck that reached a lot of programs would have to be 900

What makes your operation run smoothly?
We try to make a plan for a pretty long distance out. With the cows sheep and goats, it takes a good amount of time to figure out how we will make everything work out!

What does your breeding season look like? Do you AI or flush most of your Females?
We splash breed, AI, and flush. October to December, we do all AI and flush work, but starting in January, will have natural babies as well.

How has the new reproduction practices impacted your herd?
It has been a great way to use the better, younger bucks on more does

What’s your dream as a producer?
Our biggest goal is to have repeat costumers. Repeat costumers mean dreams are coming true, and that’s a huge dream for us

Do you prefer online sales or live sales?
Hard to say, both sale types are important, and we love seeing the faces and putting them to names.

NATIONAL CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT

Grand Champion Market Goat – 2023 American Royal
Shown by Maci Zerbach – Bred by Blue Team

What’s the pedigree of your champion?
BTW Russian Princess x BTW Fabio

In your opinion, who has been the most influential buck across the industry?
It is hard to say what buck has been the most influential across the entire wether goat industry, but we would say in our personal breeding program, it was ‘BTW Who’s Your Daddy’. BTW Fabio and Soldier Boy were direct sons of WYD. Those 2 bucks definitely made a huge impact for us, in both females we kept in our donor program and bucks we kept as well. Those two bucks and WYD will continue to impact our program for years to come.

What makes your operation run smoothly?
An operation of our size definitely doesn’t just run itself. We currently have 3 full-time employees, Deana and myself, and when he’s home Hayden. We all play a different role at times, and then work together some days. Everyone understanding how important each and every daily task is, especially during breeding and kidding seasons is very important. We are blessed to have the best and are very thankful for them.

What does your breeding season look like? Do you AI or flush most of your Females?
Our breeding season consists of both AI’s and flushes. In 2023 we will flush 13 times, and close to 300 head of donors. We also AI every natural doe on the place. When AI season is over, we will have AI’d approximately 300 head as well.

How has the new reproduction practices impacted your herd?
We are firm believers in all of the new reproduction practices. Whether it is flushing, AI’ing, IVF, or cloning we do them all. These practices allow us to utilize both bucks and does, on a different level. With the sheer number of animals that we breed each year, our buck battery could not keep up, but AI’ing, flushing and IVF allow us to use them extensively without wearing them down. These practices also allow us to use our donor does more than one time per season, and we change their matings as well.

What’s your dream as a producer?
I don’t think we are different than any show animal producer. Our DREAM is to continue to raise champion wethers and does, and continue to help our customers win on local, state, and national levels! We firmly believe that if you are not working to better your stock and services, to make your CUSTOMERS dreams come true, then you are not working for the right reasons!

Do you prefer online sales or live sales?
We absolutely love both platforms! We hold 5 live sales each season at our ranch in Zephyr, TX. We love the live sales because they allow us to have that ever important personal contact with customers. Putting faces with names is very important to us! We also understand the importance of the online platforms. We use both SC Online Sales and CCI.live. Both of these amazing platforms allow customers from across the state and country the opportunity to buy from us as well. We answer a multitude of calls and texts about online sale lots and enjoy that form of contact with customers as well!

How many years have you been raising Goats?
We started BLUE TEAM WETHERS in 1999, which means we’ve been at it for 24 years!

How many head do you run?
We run approximately 1200 head

How has the new reproduction practices impacted your herd?
We flush 7 months out of the year, and during those 7 months we flush close to 250 donors. We AI all of our natural does, and beginning in 2020 we started doing some IVF work as well.  All of these reproduction practices have drastically improved our herd and allowed us to utilize our herd sires more efficiently.

What buck or Doe has been most influential to your herd?
That is a hard question and one that we don’t take lightly, but the most influential buck for us was probably Soldier Boy.  He added so many good things in his off-spring and we were strategic when keeping Soldier Boy bred does for our donor pen, along with several Soldier Boy bred bucks to our battery.  His Legacy will continue to make an impact for years to come.

We have loved the I AM Legend kids, and have several new and very exciting sires that we can’t wait to see kids out of as well!!!

Who has impacted you on your operation the most?
The livestock industry, and especially the wether goat industry, have been impacted and influenced by some great individuals. For me personally my grandfather and dad raised and traded goats my whole life, which peaked my initial interest into the industry. Over the years there have been several individuals who have helped and even challenged me in our operation. I am forever grateful to those who have been a part of the 24 year process, like one of my closest friends, Chad Walker. He has offered his great eye, his honesty and opinions the last few years, which has brought a fresh and honest perspective to our breeding program at BTW. My wife and son have also had a huge impact on our operation, and without their daily input and efforts we would not have near the successes.

SAN ANGELO STOCK SHOW CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT

Grand Champion Market Goat – 2023 San Angelo Stock Show
Shown by Cydney Newsom – Bred by Blue Team

What is the best decision you think you made for your operation?
We have been doing this a while, so we have made lots of decisions over the years, but probably the best decision was in 2014 when we decided to move our operation to our ranch in Zephyr. We built a facility and operation that is extremely functional and user friendly and one we enjoy operating  and working in daily.

What buck has played the biggest part in getting you to where you are today?
There are many BTW sires that have played a huge role in our operation from the beginning. Bucks like Starbuck, that were before their time, gave us a doe and donor base like no other. And then there is Soldier Boy who has made more Champions than I can list, and has played a major role in creating  many stud bucks and donor does over the years. Both Starbuck and Soldier Boy have made a lasting impact on BTW genetics and will definitely hold a place in our history books.

What was your opinion on your champion as a baby?
Cydney’s wether was a Hat Trick X Went doe (purchased at 2021 Friday Night Fiesta). Hat Trick has sired some great ones for us. We were excited to take him to Friday Night Fever and offer him on that stage!

If you could take over another operation what would it be and why?
I don’t think we have enough hours in our days to take anything else on! We better stick with the goats!

Who would you like to thank for getting you where you are today?
Joe Raff, our partner at BTW, has played a huge roll in our matings for flushes, and is a true genetic mastermind. He has taught me so much over the years, especially on the genotype end of the show wether operation. His knowledge is priceless and always appreciated!

What was your opinion on your champion as a baby?
Carson’s wether was a EZ Bake x Soldier Boy x Kilo. We thought he was a very complete animal. He had a genetic combination of power, hard muscle, bone, and shag. Those 4 pieces should put together a pretty good one in our opinion!!!!

Brisco’s wether was Moose X ALi X Silver Bullets mom. As a baby he had all the pieces and parts. He was a little green, but definitely was one we felt could put it all together. His pedigree was stout. Moose was one of our favorite new sires, and he sired the Grand Champion Market Goat at NAILE in 2022. Ali was known for the doe base he sired, and Silver Bullet is one of our current herd sires!

If you could take over another operation what would it be and why?
I don’t think we have enough hours in our days to take anything else on! We better stick with the goats!

Who would you like to thank for getting you where you are today?
Joe Raff, our partner at BTW, has played a huge roll in our matings for flushes, and is a true genetic mastermind. He has taught me so much over the years, especially on the genotype end of the show wether operation. His knowledge is priceless and always appreciated!

SIOUX EMPIRE CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT

Reserve Champion Market Goat – 2023 Sioux Empire Livestock Show
Shown by Flint Kennedy – Bred by Blue Team

What is the best decision you think you made for your operation?
We have been doing this a while, so we have made lots of decisions over the years, but probably the best decision was in 2014 when we decided to move our operation to our ranch in Zephyr. We built a facility and operation that is extremely functional and user friendly and one we enjoy operating  and working in daily.

What buck has played the biggest part in getting you to where you are today?
There are many BTW sires that have played a huge role in our operation from the beginning. Bucks like Starbuck, that were before their time, gave us a doe and donor base like no other. And then there is Soldier Boy who has made more Champions than I can list, and has played a major role in creating  many stud bucks and donor does over the years. Both Starbuck and Soldier Boy have made a lasting impact on BTW genetics and will definitely hold a place in our history books.

What was your opinion on your champion as a baby?
Flint’s wether was a P67 x Hoss x Soldier Boy.  Two shots of Soldier Boy with the Schrank genetics (P67) is a definite no brainer. That genetic combination has sired many Champions, and we had no doubt about this one either!

NAILE
CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT

Grand Champion Market Goat – 2022 NAILE
Shown by Hayden Schroeder – Bred by Blue Team

Hayden’s wether was sired by BTW Moose.

As a breeder, what is one trait you won’t tolerate?
As a breeder we like good looking, good moving and good made livestock with plenty of muscle. A lack of any of those traits would be something we wouldn’t tolerate in our breeding program.

Tell us about your family, and how they are involved in your operation
My son Hayden and wife Deana are a huge part of what we do here at Blue Team Wethers. They are part of everything from kidding out babies, sale preparations, feeding, and selection. It is definitely a family affair and one that we spend many hours working together for the betterment of our operation.

Over the past years, the goat show world has drastically changed, what do you think has had the most impact on that?
I think there are probably several factors that have changed the goat world over the past few years. Online sale platforms and being able to ship livestock across the country really made it possible to get genetics out there and change and improve breeding programs. The opportunities to purchase semen, jumps, etc has also made a huge impact on the show goat world as well.

When you have a champion in the grand drive, are you able to watch? Or does the suspense get to you?
We absolutely watch every opportunity we can. If we are not there in person we appreciate the fact that a lot of shows have a live stream, so we can root for our goats from anywhere!

What is one thing you are breeding for to constantly make the next generation better?
We like to think that we are a forward thinking operation, and that your kid crops each year should be going in that forward direction as well. We believe that by introducing some outside genetics from successful breeders each year to improve and keep our program moving forward is one major thing we do to make the next generations better.

MISSISSIPPI YOUTH EXPO
CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT

Champion Doe – 2022 Mississippi Youth Expo
Shown by Paige Pence- Bred by Blue Team

Reserve Champion Market Goat – 2022 Mississippi Youth Expo
Shown by Hayes Henderson – Bred by Blue Team

Fabio X Black Friday
BTW Fabio has been an intrical part of our breeding program. He’s sired his fair share of banner winners and one of our favorite BTW sires, Rip!!! Fabio’s dam, Ronda, holds a special place in our breeding program and has made a lasting impression for sure!

Paige and Cruella had a fun jackpot season and were selected Grand Champion Breeding Doe at the 2022 American Royal.

The wether is BTW Moose X BTW Ali
Moose sired the Grand Champion Market Wether at the 2022 NAILE and had sired several of our upcoming keeper bucks. Ali’s flushmate sisters and does retained out of Ali have been extremely important in our breeding program!!!

Hayes has won numerous fall jackpot shows and fairs with his wether! They have definitely had a banner run. This wether was purchased in an online wether sale at SC Online sales, and placed by Chad Walker Livestock.

What is your Favorite doe/donor and why?
We have several donor does that are super special to us here at BTW, and Ronda and Kiki definitely rise to the top of that list. Each were banner winners in their show days, and each have sired several stud bucks for us, that have added lots of depth to our buck battery.

What us your advice for families wanting to start showing goats?
The advice that we like to give is to find a breeder you are comfortable with, and one that can help with starting your projects on the right foot. We also strongly encourage finding a person that can help serve as a second set of eyes for your show projects. We can’t express enough how important this is in a successful showbarn setting!!!

Treadmill vs Track
We do both. If you are blessed with a good track dog, we feel that can definitely change a program for the better. We also use the treadmill a lot and feel that is an investment that pays dividends as well.

Chain vs Halter
We definitely suggest chains, but understand that all goats are not compatible with a chain and a halter might be necessary. We also know that goats are strong and for a young showman a halter can give the added confidence needed for them to get started on a positive foot!

Hayden’s wether had a great fall. He won RING A and Reserved RING B at the Pre-sort Jackpot in Texas.

OHIO STATE FAIR
CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT

Reserve Market Goat – 2022 Ohio State Fair
Shown by Ethan Davies – Bred by Blue Team

Pedigree/Genetics of this Champion:
Ethan’s wether was out of BTW SHAKE AND BAKE X BLACK BETTY. Black Betty was the champion middle weight doe at 2020 NAILE and shown by the Pence family.

Ethan had a really fun summer with this wether bringing home several big jackpot wins. He was sold in our online fall born sale and placed by Cooper Bounds.

What is your Favorite doe/donor and why?
We have a very large and extensive flush program. We flush close to 250 head a year. We hold many of those donors to the highest regards and love so many things about all of them, but if I had to pick a donor that I feel has made a legendary mark here at BTW it would be a close decision between Ronda and Kiki. Ronda is no longer alive but the lasting impression she has made here will live on through many generations! She was the dam to BTW Fabio, BTW Black Gold, the Champion Doe at the 2019 AZ Nationals, and the Grand Champion Market Goat at the 2020 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.    Kiki is the mother to BTW Shake and Bake and Magic Man, the Grand Champion Market Goat at the 2020 GA Nationals, the Grand Champion Market Goat at the Tulsa State Fair, Reserve Grand Champion Market Goat at 2020 NAILE and the Grandmother to our newset stud buck I Am Legend!!!

Advice for exhibitors?
Our advice is to find a breeder that you feel comfortable working with and one that will answer questions for you during the duration of your project. Get on a good feeding program: fresh and easily accessible feed is very important!!! Exercise programs are also important. Whether you have outside help deciding on the best exercise program for your animals or you make that decision yourself, stay consistent and find one that works for your family and with your goals!

Treadmill vs Track
We like and do both! To us they each have a specific role in a successful program and creating a specific program for each animal in your barn is crucial!

Chain vs Halter 
We prefer a chain, but do understand there are animals and circumstances where a halter must be used.

MICHIGAN LIVESTOCK EXPO
CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT

Reserve Champion Market Goat – 2022 Michigan Livestock Expo
Shown by Talan Hiemstra – Bred by Blue Team

Pedigree/Genetics of this Champion:
This wether was sired by BTW Hoss. He’s the flushmate brother to two of our newest herd sires: BTW Spence and BTW Be Blessed.

Talan’s wether was sold in our January Fall Born online sale at SC Online. He was placed by Dave Williams and Cooper Bounds.

How did you get involved in the industry?
We have been raising show wethers since 1999. We got started with the hopes of raising competitive wethers for our children and it evolved into a full-time occupation!

What is one of the most memorable events from your time as a breeder?
We have been in the industry for a long time and have really enjoyed watching exhibitors find success with our genetics over the years. It’s amazing when your own children win, but it’s just as rewarding when your customers, who actually become family, find success of their own..

What do you think has pushed your program forward over the years?
We have always been progressive thinkers and breeders. Bringing in outside genetics and finding those out crosses that work with our genetics has helped continue to move in the right direction. We also enjoy creating unique pieces of livestock, and our intense flush programs help us continue to make those unique pieces and creatures.

What is your favorite part about raising goats? 
I think that we really enjoy seeing the babies hit the ground. It’s in those moments that let you know almost immediately if your work in lining up the flush matings worked. We kid out 9 months of the year, so we sort of have to like “kidding season”!!!

OKLAHOMA YOUTH EXPO
CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT

Reserve Grand Champion Breeding Doe – 2023 Oklahoma Youth Expo
Shown by Tabrey Lierle – Bred by Pfeiffer Farms

What is the best decision you think you made for your operation?
We feel that only selling goats through live or online sales has been a great decision for us. Nothing sells private treaty from our farm.

What buck has played the biggest part in getting you to where you are today?
I would say it would be a mix of four bucks- Chunky Monkey,Colt, Wrangler, Grey Goose

What was your opinion on your champion as a baby?
This doe actually had a pretty rough start. She drifted from 4 different moms before she found one, putting her pretty far behind. When she finally found a mom, she was very skinny, and it took her until mid August to really catch up. But we knew she was special for sure!

If you could take over another operation what would it be and why?
Something that took less work! Haha! We are thankful everyday that we get to do what we love, and wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Who would you like to thank for getting you where you are today?
Glen Martin showed up to our first sale, and hasn’t missed more than a couple since. We are thankful for his knowledge and effort that he puts in to our operation.

Ladies Man x Snoop dogg
Banner’s goat was also Reserve Division at Georgia National

What is your Favorite doe/donor and why?
That’s a tough one we flush a lot of donors I don’t know that we have a favorite per say but this one’s mother 9097 would rank high on our list.

What us your advice for families wanting to start showing goats?
I think the main thing is the stay positive and always be open to learning. Also this deal takes Alot of work you have to be willing to put the time in to get the reward.

Treadmill vs Track
I like the track better.

Chain vs Halter
Chain every day of the week. The way they carry their head looks so much better than on a halter. The showman also has more control.

He is a product of the first flush out of this donor and One & Only’s first kid crop. He was sold on the Midwest Fever in Lebanon, IN

How did you get involved in the industry?
Our oldest son, Dayton, had started showing goats quite a few years ago and I swore we would never start raising goats. Never say never! Bought our first donors in 2019 and things have snowballed quickly since then!

What is one of the most memorable events from your time as a breeder?
Too many great memories with great families to pick just one.  We are in the business of making memories… savor them all!

What do you think has pushed your program forward over the years?
Without a doubt, embryo transfer and reproductive technologies. We have concentrated our program on 25 key donors and have utilized ET to make kid crops that are high and deep when it comes to quality.

What is your favorite part about raising goats? 
Watching families struggle, learn, grow, and find success. There is something special about watching a kid or family’s competency grow over the season or years.

Reserve Overall Market Goat Fayette County Premier Jackpot Day 1

Champion Commercial Doe and Overall Female Chasing Banners Show

Grand Wether Dam Homestead Summer Sizzler

Ohio State Fair Champion Commercial Doe

How did you get involved in the industry?
On a whim I bought two doe kids out of the local sale barn and then 40 more out of a sale barn in Texas. There was A LOT of learning and I eventually got hooked up with Glen & Rae Ann Martin. We have grown our operation to 750 does in less than 10 years.

What is one of the most memorable events from your time as a breeder?
Every year provides new memories but our most memorable event as a breeder  happens every year and that’s our live sale that takes place at our barn. It’s always exciting seeing everyone and the excitement in the kids when they get the goat they had picked out!

What do you think has pushed your program forward over the years?
I think our program is very unique since we don’t do any flush work. We use our own bucks when we do AI and the rest is natural breeding with those same bucks. We run 750 does and since we don’t flush our does they are need to click so that gives us a wide range of pedigrees and a ton of opportunities for breeding instead of just a few donors.

What is your favorite part about raising goats? 
Our favorite part is getting to meet new people and creating friendships across the US. We absolutely love raising our kids in the greatest industry there is!

Champion Market Goat – 2022 Ohio State Fair
Shown by Braxton Method – Bred by Fledderjohann

Pedigree/Genetics of this Champion:
Sire: Tag Team
Flushmate to keeper buck

How did you get involved in the industry?
Along with our son we began the show goat operation when he ended his 4-h career and wanted to continue to be involved in the show goat industry.

What is one of the most memorable events from your time as a breeder?
Winning the Ohio State Fair this year has to be top on the list as one of the most memorable events as a breeder. When our son Jordan died in 2019 we wanted to win one for him. Having his nephew on the show chain made it even more special!

What do you think has pushed your program forward over the years?
As a breeder you are always looking for ways to improve. When given the opportunity to purchase half of Tag Team from Stork Livestock we felt he would help move our program forward. His offspring is winning all across the country!

What is your favorite part about raising goats? 
Our favorite part about raising goats is the people you meet in this industry. There are many that we have met in this industry that have become family to us.

Northern Exposure Livestock

MINNESOTA YOUTH LIVESTOCK EXPO
CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT

Champion Market Goat & Breeding Doe – 2022 Minnesota Youth Livestock Expo
Shown by Khloe Nelson – Bred by Northern Exposure

Pedigree/Genetics of this Champion:
Champion wether is an ET sired by Trip Advisor and dammed by NEL 398.  398 also had a natural kid that was Champion Middleweight at MYLE this year for Anna and her wether last year was 3rd heavyweight at the Houston Livestock Show for John Michael.
Champion doe is an ET sired by Afroman and dammed by NEL 617, who is a full sister to the mom of “Chuck”.

The wether has been at the top end of all his shows so far this year.  This was the first time out for the doe, but plan on seeing her in the fall shows!!

What is your Favorite doe/donor and why?
That’s a tough one.  We just flushed the mother to our buck we call “Prime Rib”, who just gave us 29 transferable embryos out of “Pandemonium”, so she has to be right up there.  But I’m thinking it is “Jewel”, our Friday Night Fiesta purchase from Kempker Livestock last fall.  Her natural Keep The Faith March doe kid was 3rd overall breeding doe at MYLE and we have high expectations of her.  “Jewel” just gave us 16 transferable embryos to “Pandemonium”, and we plan on flushing her in October again.

Is there any other information you would like to include?
Work with a family that will help and work with you.  With us increasing numbers, we are not able to get to see all of the goats we sell throughout the country, but technology helps us to keep in contact with each customer. For the local customers, we offer showmanship clinics a few times each summer at our farm.  This allows us to help on showmanship, feeding, fitting, and any other questions they may have.

What is your favorite part about raising goats?
Our favorite part is when we get to help family’s and children be a part or the showing industry.

Treadmill vs Track:
Have never used a track, but am very intrigued by it.  We do use a treadmill on our goats when they start to get some condition on them, and it seems to have helped. We also like to put them into an exercise area for them prior to the treadmill

Chain vs Halter:
We primarily use a chain, but if needed will use a halter.

What us your advice for families wanting to start showing goats?
Get help from someone that has had significant success. Measure everything you do. If it works, do it again; if it doesn’t, don’t do it again

Treadmill vs Track
Both are effective tools to burn calories and tone and shaped muscle

Chain vs Halter
Use the one that makes the goat look the best

How did you get involved in the industry?

Our break into raising our own came in 2015 when Erby Chandler allowed us to have a “stake in the game” by giving us 2 high quality doe kids.  Riding his coat tails, we have been able to make some quality livestock.

What is one of the most memorable events from your time as a breeder?
It is very difficult to pin point just one.  It has been a building block of events over the 14 yrs as a breeder.  This past show season 2021-2022    has been unfortunately, overwhelming and most memorable.   Ohio State Fair-American Royal- NAILE-New Years National-National Western Stock Show.

Dam – RCA Granite multi Champion Wether Dam (DeepWater X H2G)

This wether was also Reserve Champion Division 1 at American Royal. Sayde’s sister Layne showed the wether to Grand Champion Market Wether at Ozark Outlaws Jackpot Ring A&B.
This wether was sold on Willoughby Livestock Sales in April 2021 and placed by Cooper Bounds and Caleb Boden.

How did you get involved in the industry?
Growing up on a small farm in Hillsboro Ohio.  My parents raised cattle,  sheep, handful of dairy goats along with many small animals and wildlife.   Although my passion at the time was trail riding horses.   I got my fair share of nurturing livestock my intire youth.   4-H and FFA was the foundation that built me.  In 2007 Jeff purchased a few doe’s and a buck as a small project for our newly developed farm just outside of Hillsboro.   The following spring with only a few kids born we were approached by our first client in search of a jackpot wether.  That simple request started the spark of interest to explore the wether goat industry.   With little to base off of the literature began to build on the table and pile in the dash board of the truck.  That very year we raised the Grand Champion Wether at the Highland County Fair.   Raising County Champions every year since and gradually raising jackpot, state and now national level champions.  The pure energy generated by the youth is undoubtedly the fuel that drives us.  As well as the relationships we foster with the families fills our hearts with joy.  Our journey began on a small farm,  small budget, and big DREAMS.

What is one of the most memorable events from your time as a breeder?
It is very difficult to pin point just one.  It has been a building block of events over the 14 yrs as a breeder.  This past show season 2021-2022    has been unfortunately, overwhelming and most memorable.   Ohio State Fair-American Royal- NAILE-New Years National-National Western Stock Show.

What do you think has pushed your program forward over the years?
It was our devotion of staying within our style and look and having patience of building a solid doe foundation.   We kept 100% of our doe crop the first 5 years and to this day we still retain 90% of does each year.

What is your favorite part about raising goats? 
Walking into the barn and being greeted by their wide eyed furry faces.   I always shout ” Good Morning ” to quickly remembering how dislike the shouting of hungry goats.  But by far our favorite is the relationships we have fostered over the years.  Goats has brought fantastic “GOOD” people into our circle of friends.

ARIZONA NATIONAL
CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT

Reserve Grand Champion Wether Doe – 2022 Arizona National
Shown by Kaylie Stone – Bred by Stone Livestock

“Penny” as we call her is BTW Smacktalk X Rhiannon ( She Said Next X XXL). Rhiannon is our lead Donor and was Reserve Middleweight Doe at AZ Nationals in 2019 herself. Penny is a flush mate to our keeper buck “Talkin Kinky”.

How did you get involved in the industry?
Stacey was an Ag Teacher and Tracy grew up showing lambs. We became involved in the industry when our daughter, Kaylie, began showing goats. Toward the end of her show career we began to put more emphasis on the breeding side of things.

What is one of the most memorable events from your time as a breeder?
This win at Phoenix is our most memorable win not only because it was our first National win, but it was also Kaylie’s last show!

What do you think has pushed your program forward over the years?
Our herd mainly consists of Blue Team genetics. We have had a close relationship with Jamie & his dad, John Carl for many years. While our number of females is small we utilize embryo transfer and A.I. to help maximize our results. We work closely with KNT Farms, which is a partnership between Kaylie and her Grandmother.

What is your favorite part about raising goats?
We enjoy several aspects. The much anticipated kidding season is always exciting but seeing exhibitors with our goats in the show ring probably tops it all!

Grand Champion Market Goat – 2021 North American International Livestock Expo

Fuzzy Handcuffs x Backup/Chunky Monkey

Cara’s wether was also Champion Division VI Wether at the 2021 Tulsa State Fair. The wether was purchased in our March Online Sale and placed by Cooper Bounds & Kale Hensley.

How did you get involved in the industry?
My family has been involved in the goat business since it’s inception in the 90’s. Throughout the years, droughts and dispersals, we changed our focus from fullbloods to a straight commercial operation, and in 2010 upon graduation from college, I invested heavily in wether genetics and here we are.

What is one of the most memorable events from your time as a breeder?
We’ve been fortunate to have success at the highest level in this business. While there may be “bigger” wins on our resumé, watching my 7-year old daughter hit the green shavings in Louisville for the first time and gathering a big banner would have to be the most special. It was a big accomplishment as a breeder, but the biggest “dad” moment yet.

What do you think has pushed your program forward over the years?
A steadfast, almost stubborn commitment to skeletal quality and prioritizing structure, even when it wasn’t popular or “trendy”. We believe in our vision and have seen an increase in success with a new slate of younger judges who prioritize quality, build and balance.

What is your favorite part about raising goats? 
I enjoy studying genetics and implementing various breeding strategies in accordance to how things line up. I’m not always right, but it’s the game that keeps me going.

How did you get involved in the industry?

What is one of the most memorable events from your time as a breeder?
My most memorable times are working with the mentally and physically challenged kids. Having them and their parents tell me about the impact showing animals has had on their lives.

What do you think has pushed your program forward over the years?
Not kidding myself on my opinion of the animals but the animals ability to compete at the top level.

Pocket Change (5814) x 75G51 LaCopa

This wether sold as Lot #1 at the Big Guns Sale #1 in Brownwood Texas

How did you get involved in the industry?
Our two families have thirty plus years involved in showing and raising competitive livestock in Texas. Most of that has been raising club lambs but we have moved our interest over to the goat industry and it has been a good fit for our entire team. Both Tina and Carla have a true passion for the goat industry and Jeff and Kevin have focused there energy in the same direction. It is our goal to reach as many families as we can who are interested in our goats and our guidance with their projects. The relationships we build with our customers (family) is the most rewarding part of the business no doubt.

What is one of the most memorable events from your time as a breeder?
It is the gratification of seeing one of those that came out of your lambing or kidding barn make the Backdrop! Sometimes that is a first for a kid at his county show and other times it is on the big stage at a state or national level. There is nothing more gratifying or enjoyable!

What do you think has pushed your program forward over the years?
Our focus is on building this operation with the best genetics available and being diligent in reaching our goals. We have not held back in our flush, IVF or AI programs and already have over 200 head of does and recips carrying embryos to some of the best bucks in the country for our 2022 kid crop. We will kid out 300 does and another 100 recips carrying our IVF and flush babies. We have also tried to purchase the some of the very best bucks and does from the top breeders in this industry and we are looking forward to the impact they will have on our herd.
We like being the new guys out here and just want to make sure we build a genetic base that will allow all of those who believe in our program the ability to compete at any level in this industry. We have a true passion for this industry and that is the driving force pushing us forward.

What is your favorite part about raising goats? 
For Jeff and Tina it may be more on the breeding and kidding as well as the genetic lines of our flock. On our side, Carla and I love promoting the sales and dealing with the customers as well as studying and placing those goats in good homes. Both families enjoy watching one we thought was good from day one turn out and win. We get along well and have common goals as priority.
