7A+ Extended Family


John and Velma McIniss
158 John McIniss Rd
Candor, N.C. 27229-8402

It's hard to beat our system for claiming kin to people; we let them grow up and if they turn out good we say they're part of our family. John and Velma McIniss are good ones to claim kin to. They do many things to help out the young people who are interested in goats in their area. For one thing they hold a big picnic for them right next to the goat pasture. John's main motive for having goats is to raise enough wethers so those kids can all have goats to show.

As a result of all his generosity and hard work John was given an award as the outstanding goat rancher for that year. We don't have the exact details of that award, but when we heard about it from someone in another state we immediately pointed out that John was part of the 7A+ family!


The mothers of the sons John is petting are in this picture. Nearest the camera is the By Jeminey nanny; next to her is the Paintbrush/Liveoak daughter.

 


The light-headed nanny is from Crystaldew and Rawhide. The dark-headed one is from Paintbrush and Liveoak.

 


This nanny has a Tobias/Eve mother; Alazan is her father.

The McIniss family raises more chickens than you and I could count, but he spent hours of his precious free time studying videos, so when he made a whirlwind trip to our ranch he already knew which goats he wanted to load in the trailer. Looking at the pictures he took a year later of the goats he bought you can see that those nannies must still be saying "thank you" to the beneficent fate that sent them to a good ranch where goats are so well taken care of.

 


One of the billy kids John is petting is a grandson of Paintbrush and Liveoak; the other is a grandson of By Jeminey
