At our Tyler sale we were
especially pleased that so
many East Texas Goat
People bought some of
our best goats.
One group of six friends and
neighbors bought three of
our favorites: San Saba,
his mother Paintbrush,
and 6036 – from
a 50% Kaptein nanny and
Rawhide. Since they
are all good friends it
wouldn't surprise us if they
swapped genetics from those
goats.
Four Ladies went into
partnership on San Saba:
Jackie Brown, B.J. Burkett,
Nancy McKinnie, and Diana
Payne. They all live in
the same general area,
spreading from Nacogdoches
to Jacksonville – the same
area we called home (along
with this Divide ranch) for
about thirty-three years.
And I have it from a
reliable source that San
Saba is receiving really
special treatment which I
know he loves because he
sees himself as a cuddly lap
goat and wants to be hugged.
San Saba is one of the many
Paintbrush kids from Liveoak.
That combination made such
good goats we implanted
embryos from it three
different years.
I have a tip from their
website person that he will
soon be on websites for his
other two nice lady owners
as well.
James Kyle of Lookout
Valley Boers in
Jacksonville, Texas, bought
7A+ Paintbrush, mother
to San Saba and many more
goats we are proud to claim
as ones we raised. James and
Ann have been our very good
friends since the first few
months we began to work with
Boer Goats. It was the hard
work of James and his many
friends that made our Tyler
sale go so smoothly.
The lady who works on James'
website will be putting
Paintbrush on there soon,
I'm sure. Paintbrush is one
of those precious Honey Girl
daughters who have been so
important to our breeding
program. James has a few
Zorro daughters, too.
James' website is:
www.Lookoutvalleysmeatgoats.com
I don't think he ever looks
at his e-mail so you better
just call him at
903-586-2919. We have
referred so many people to
him as an expert on taking
care of goats in wet country
that we're considering
printing up business cards
with his name and address
for us to pass out!
J.T. Ward, another good
friend of James' bought 6036
– one of the best billy kids
in the Tyler sale. The kid
is from Marjorie Daw, who is
50% Kaptein - a daughter of
Cloud Dancing and a Kaptein
daughter. His father was
Rawhide, one of our very
best ever producing billies.
J.T. is another one of those
kind-hearted East Texans who
worked at our sale every
day. We truly appreciate him
and all those others who
helped us out so much.
The only picture we have of
his good-looking billy goat
is too much out of date to
be useful. We'll put a
current one here as soon as
we get it. |
