The Little Ranch with the Big Dreams

~ UPDATED 07-25-10 ~ 

NEWSFLASH We have many new pics posted of our herd sires and are working on updating our whole website.

Our breeding program has 2 main focuses...1) To preserve and continue the "old-school" look of the SA Boer goat...deeper and longer bodies on shorter, thicker legs, thicker more tightly curled horns, big beautiful heads, and lots and lots of wrinkles (the way South Africans wanted them)...2) Breed more size and quality back into the colored Boer goat.  And we are doing BOTH with the power of CODI / PCI genetics! 

In our opinion, there are 3 things that have NOT improved with time:  Country Music, Pickup Trucks, and Boer Goats!  Here at Rowdy River, we like steel guitar in our country, pickups made prior to 1979, and "old school" Boer goats.  If you are looking for the "new style" Boer that is being paraded around in the show ring today with "clean" fronts, long skinny necks and pin heads, you will not find them here!

We put the great foundation Boers back to the FRONT of the pedigrees!

      Welcome to the Rowdy River Ranch!  Our goat business started originally as a way to beautify our property in August of 2005.  We live on the banks of the Yellowstone River near Laurel, MT.  Since most of our place is overgrown with brush, we figured the best way to clear it was with goats.  We love animals and have a livestock background so we figured we couldn't lose.  After much research, we found the Boer goat to be the best for multiple reasons: disposition, size, hardiness, etc., to name a few.  Also, with Boers, there are multiple markets.  We are now breeding and raising ABGA registered Boers primarily for show and seed stock which we are proud to say started with the purchase of a grandson to *ENNOBLED* DOW Pipeline.  In September of 2007, our luck changed drastically and we had the rare opportunity to purchase a herd of four 100% CODI / PCI does and one 100% CODI / PCI buck to add to our small but growing herd.

Colors include Traditionals, Spots, Paints, Reds, and Blacks.

     Boer bloodlines in addition to Pipeline include but are not limited to: Mr. CODI Black, Jet Black's Lignite, Vea Zoro T57, SB1 Red Barron, SGF KF42 *ENNOBLED*, WCQ Tri Quest Windcall Greeley, Eggstreme *ENNOBLED*, Eggsellent *ENNOBLED*, Eggs Ryals Magnum *ENNOBLED*, Ash Creek Heat Seeker, Ashcreek Bright Eyes *ENNOBLED*, RMR-SA-Kitty *ENNOBLED*, DKLK JRP TY *ENNOBLED*, JRP Moondo *ENNOBLED*, King's Holy Moly, King's Acceleration, Mojo Magic *ENNOBLED*, Downen Big 85 *ENNOBLED*, Lobola S.A. *ENNOBLED*, Ubora *ENNOBLED*, 519 *ENNOBLED*, Kaptein *ENNOBLED* and Renior *ENNOBLED*.

     With us it is all about the animal...our goats are guaranteed to be in the best of health and their welfare ranks above monetary profit at all times.  We are a CL / CAE free herd and all goats sold from here are guaranteed CL / CAE free or your money will be refunded.  (See Management page for more info). 

     So take a look, hope you like what you see...and thanks for stoppin' by the ranch.  We're just getting started!
