Atley Boer Goats is
owned and operated by Ryan and Jana Roberts. We are located in Edwall, Washington, just outside Spokane. We currently have
a herd of 32 goats, 26 does, 3 bucks and 3 wethers.
We got our start in
the spring of 2008, while visiting Eagle Scream Boer Goats owned by Jana’s parents. Ryan selected a 2 month old pureblood doe, starting off a chain reaction that led to us picking
out 4 other does. We also bought our previous herd buck, Brook Hill CODI Crazy Horse that summer.
We've enjoyed productive first
years, most of our does produce twins or triplets, including our first time does. We've had success in showing our 'home-grown'
stock, with two of our Atley does placing well at shows in 2009. Our hope is to attend at least three shows
each year. Especially the Wild West Boer Show, held in Yakima, which we are a part of the show committee.
Our goals for Atley
Boer Goats are to produce sound kids with high rates of gain, consistently improve on udder and teat structure in our does,
and breed for a hardy, low maintenance herd.
All of our goats were
purchased from proven CAE and CL negative herds. Every goat we have tested has negative test results from WSU’s lab.
We test all new goats before they are introduced into the herd. Any of our goats offered for sale can be tested prior to the
sale by request, or comes with a guarantee if the buyer tests within 30 days. Our goats are also enrolled in the National
Scrapie Eradication Program. All of our market animals are tagged in accordance with the program.
