Hawaii - That name conjures up visions of palm trees and surf and coconuts to most people, but to us it means Boer Goats! Manny Ramaya from Maui and his friend Chris Bernabe who lives in Hilo, on Hawaii, the big island, have both bought goats from us, beginning so long ago we were selling half-bloods, the first product of the Boer imports. All the billy goats that you see in these pictures have gone as sires into meat goat herds, either to friends of Manny or Manny himself.

During the Tyler sale, Manny called on the Goat Rancher phone since all the other numbers were tied up and ordered "a herd"! He wanted a bunch of fullbloods to keep on the land where he lives so he could relax in the evening after a strenuous day of supervising house construction and look at his goats. He got his bunch, but I don't have any pictures of them except a baby picture of one major nanny who went and a picture of Bravo, sometimes known as "Porkchop", one of those wonder billies from Hickory. Bravo was supposed to be in Tyler, but got left home accidentally.
	If you decide to fly into Hawaii to bring home a Boer Goat, you'll have to call us so we can put you in touch with our extended family over there. They'll be asleep when you are awake.
