CRR Texas Traveler

We purchased Traveler from Coni Ross of Blanco, Texas. He was born January 24, 2004, a son of Coni's Hammer billy. Traveler's dam was a daughter of Sinclair who was sired by Ram H Tobias. Sinclair's dam was DSM Wobbles. We like the length and width of his kids.

Sonora Redneck

Sonora Redneck purchased from Marvin and Wanda Shurley, Texas Goat Flock, Sonora Texas. Redneck was born January 25, 2004 and weighed 111 pounds when we got him home on August 22, 2004 after spending 2 days on the trailer. His sire, RBWR Fireball weighed 222 pounds at just over a year of age. He has two Ennobled ancestors, Ubora and Powell/Holman 2SIS 321M.

Sonora Bullet

We purchased Sonora Bullet from Marvin Shurley, Texas Goat Flock, Sonora, TX. Bullet was the highest gaining buck in the American Meat Goat Association 2004-2005 Range Buck Test. He went on test on November 1, 2004 weighing 110 pounds and came off test 200 days later at 220 pounds for an average daily gain of 0.55 pounds. The closest goat to him gained
0.4 pound. We're seeing some really great weaning weights in his kids.

Uphoff's Elmer Fudge

Uphoff's Elmer Fudge was born February 9, 2005, a twin. He weighed 71 lbs when we weaned him at 90 days. His sire is Sonora Redneck and his dam is Uphoff's Countess Dracula. Redneck is a red and white paint whose sire was solid red. Countess is a black headed traditional. Her sire was Killdeer, a traditional, and her dam was a black and white paint daughter of Jet Black Lignite. We're really pleased with Fudge's kids. He splatters color all over. In 2007 he sired solid reds, red and white paints, blacks, black and white paints and even a black headed nanny that has dapple spots scattered in her black. Several of his kids' pictures are on our Baby Picture page. Fudge has a great disposition, he's a little bit more of a pet than we would prefer. In 2006 his mother had twin traditional billys that we sold to Aaron Gadeken and Mike & Chris Stork. In 2007 she has a traditional billy and a black nanny. Fudge wasn't quite all shed out when we took this photo on June 8, 2007 but we've been wanting to get a picture of him on the website so you could see why his kids have the quality that they do.

On June 15, 2007, Colorado State University at Ft Collins, CO began a 90 day Meat Goat Buck test with 46 bucks from breeders in 5 states. A son of Fudge's, Uphoff's Goodenberger (shown below), ended up second in the test with an average daily gain of .851 lb. and a weight per day of age of .704 lb, Fudge also sired the 4th and 9th place goats in this test and the winning goat was sired by Uphoff's Ferdinand, Fudge's full brother.

Easter Egg

The colored goat fad is getting so hot that we just had to get involved. This is Easter Egg, a son of Sonora Red Neck and Uphoff's Charmaine, a 1/2 Nubian daughter of Hank, born January 11, 2006, a quadruplet. He's just a 3/4 Boer but we're going to keep him for awhile and breed him to some fullblood, percentage and commercial nannies for October 2007 kids. The nannies we're breeding him to includes some reds, some paints, some traditionals and some spotted so we should find out just what he'll produce for us. Stay tuned.

CRR Texas Warrior

We purchased this buck from Coni Ross, Blanco, TX in 2006. He was born January 1, 2006, a son Of CONI Warrior who was sired by CONI Mace. Tex's maternal grandfather is also Mace which makes him double bred Mace. We are using him primarily on colored Fudge daughters. His kids are a strong step in the direction we want to go with our goats.

Uphoff's Goodenberger

Goodie was born February 15, 2007, a triplet son of Fudge and Texas Bonnie, a traditional daughter of Jet Black Lignite. Both of his siblings were dark red. He weighed 67 lbs when we weaned him at 90 days. We entered him in the Colorado State University Buck Test on June 15. He weighed 71 lbs when he officially went on test. He gained 74 lbs between June 15 and the conclusion of the test on September 10, weighing in at 145 lbs, for an average daily gain of .851 lbs, the second high gaining buck in the test. He finished with a WDA of .704, REA of 1.8 and a Scrotal of 28.
