PERFORMANCE HORSES MEAT GOATS PASTURED POULTRY
BOER GOATS
Meat Goats For The Serious Producer!
The adult Boer goat can easily exceed 200lbs. They are one of the few goats breeds that have been genetically selected for early weight gain, carcass quality and muscling. By using a full or half blood Boer goat buck in your dairy or Spanish doe herd you can increase the weight gain of your kids by over 150%! Boer goat crosses bring more in the sale ring too. The carcass quality is so much improved by even half blood sires that the resulting kids bring premium prices. Because they gain quicker, they get to market quicker with less time in the feed lot.
Here at Leunen Farms we use a farming method known as "sustainable agriculture". Our meat goats are used for biological weed control. No herbicides are used on our pastures. The goats are grazed alternately with our horses in a managed intensive grazing system. No hormones or antibiotics are used in our meat animals. The meat goats are fed only corn or commercially processed feed containing NO medications or animal by products. Our meat goat heard is allowed free range throughout the pasture during the growing season. We raise our animals with care and respect in order to provide you with a quality, flavorful and safe meat product.
Goats are naturally low in body fat, with only 51 calories per ounce. A four-ounce serving of roasted goat meat contains only 85 mg of cholesterol. Currently, the demand in the US exceeds what American farmer’s are able to produce.
If you would like more information about raising Boer goats, commercial meat goats or information about purchasing goat meat, please contact us. We will be happy to send you a brochure and information about this growing industry.

BULLDOG: Sire of original herd sire, LF BIG MACK! Most of our breeding does are daughters of LF Big Mack. Our current sire is Killian #619. Bred by Killian Boers, in Iowa.
The demand for chevon and cabrito and the interest in meat goats continue to expand in the United States. Goat production is appealing because the necessary economic outlay is comparatively modest, life cycle is short which enhances cash flow, land requirements are modest. Raising goats can be productive in a range of environments. They prefer the variety of feedstuffs found on many farms, and prices are adequate to produce a reasonable profit.
