Welcome to Lazy K Boers
We are located just outside of the small town of Paul, Idaho, about halfway between the South Hills and the mighty Snake River on the south and the barren Idaho desert on the north. This area is a part of what is known as the Magic Valley. It is an extremely productive agricultural area where potatoes, sugar beets, dry edible beans, small grains and hay can be seen everywhere. This Valley also hosts lots and lots of dairy cows, beef, sheep, pigs, horses, and yes, more and more BOER GOATS. The land is irrigated with water diverted from the Snake River and/or pumped from deep wells sunk hundreds of feet underground. The soil is a silt loam that has blown in on top of volcanic rock over hundreds of years and will produce huge bumper crops when irrigated and then influenced by our Magic Valley sun.
We have mule deer, elk and pronghorn antelope along with numerous small game, bird, and waterfowl hunting opportunities within just a few minutes from our home. Waterskiing in summer and snow skiing in winter are within 30 minutes drive. Excellent trout, bass and walleye fishing too are close by.
We have a small acreage that grows good grass and have been raising calves, but recently made a business decision to switch partially to Boer goats. We started out with a couple of bred purebred does and have grown over a couple of years to now anticipating our next kidding of 25 does. We currently are members of the ABGA and about one fourth of our herd is registered.
Our goal is to eventually raise most of our own brood does here on the farm using our registered does as seed stock. We plan to sell herd does and the best of our bucks as registered breeding stock and the rest will sale as meat goats. We are on a main road and the “red-headed goats” have become a novelty to the passers-by, many of whom have stopped by to inquire about goats for BBQ.
Our goats are raised on grass during the spring, summer, and fall and on alfalfa and grass hay through the winter. The feed is all natural and we don’t use any hormones on the goats.
Our first crop of kids has grown up with our children and the kids (human) always seem to be with the kids (goat). When the children go out the house door, the goats come to attention. We try to give the goats a stress free environment where they can do their thing which is to get fat and be happy.
