Bargains Of The Year
Here's a pair of fullblood Tex nannies out of a first timer paint daughter of Fudge. They were born on November 22, 2007 and when we weaned, vaccinated & wormed them on March 10 we were really disappointed in their weights. The paint weighed 36 lbs. and the traditional weighed 28 lbs. But, they have just exploded since then and have probably almost doubled in size. As you can see in the butt shot picture of them, they are really going to be nice and wide and nice and long, a trademark of the Texas Warrior kids. So, we're going to price them like they are smaller and you get the Bargain of the Year. You can have your choice of the two for $400 each or to make sure you get the right one, buy them both for $750. We'll register them in your name as part of the deal.

A Percentage Tex Nanny
Here's a nice little percentage nanny that was born on November 14, 2007. She's a sister to the billy kid below with the Savannah blood (According the village Percentage Tex NannySavannah expert). She's really tight wound and soggy. She weighed 44 pounds when we wormed and vaccinated her on March 10. She was supplemented on the bottle early in her career so she wants to be your best friend. We think she would make a dandy 4H project or part of a starter herd for some youngster that wants to get a serious meat goat business underway. Her number is 313 and she's priced at $350 or we'll sell her for $250 if she's purchased for a 4H project or a young man or young lady wanting to start a business. We'll register her in her new owner's name as a 1/2 Boer. We''ll also work with you to get her bred to one of our fullblood billy goats when you're ready. She'd make a great partner for #314 below. They've got the same daddy.

Nuther Percentage Tex Daughter

Here's another Tex daughter, this one is a 3/4 Boer. She was born November 17, 2007 and is a sister to billy goat #83 below. Her mother is a 5/8 Boer, 3/8 Nubian great granddaughter of Hank that is registered as a 1/2. We like this nanny's mother a bunch. She is really feminine but with a lot of muscle. We think this nanny is going to end up the same way when she is mature. We'll register her in her new owner's name as part of the deal and she is priced at $350 with a $100 discount if you buy her for a 4H project. Buy the pair of them, this one and the one above, and you'll be well on your way to getting a serious meat goat herd started. We'd even work with you on getting them bred to one of our billy goats when you're ready.

A Twin Commercial Tex Son  - SOLD!SOLD

This is a pretty nice billy kid by Texas Warrior and out of a white, pink eared nanny that John Scott says has a lot of Savannah blood. He and his twin sister were born on November 14 and on March 3 he weighed 57 pounds.(the goat, not John). That's pretty respectable considering the winter weather that he's had to contend with. We're at the wrong end of the year to be selling billy goats but we'll price him cheap enough that you can afford to feed him high priced feed till fall and burn $4 gas to come and get him.

SOLD - Thanks to Teresa & Galen Arment, Smith Center, KS.

A Pair of Fullblood Traveler Twins

A Pair of Fullblood Traveler Twins

A set of twins by Texas Traveler and out of a red and white paint first timer daughter of Uphoff's Elmer Fudge. They combine the bloodlines of two nationally famous breeders that concentrate on rate of gain. They were born December 1 and on March 3, the paint weighed 51 pounds and the traditional weighed 47 pounds. The paint has the best set of drivers on him. They'll sure enough make good sires for a small breeder and the paint kid is sure to add some color to your breeding program. The paint is priced at $450 and the traditional is $350. This price includes their registration papers in your name and health papers to get them to your state. Come and take a look at them and see what you think. Maybe we didn't price them quite high enough.

Blackheaded Fullblood Bullet DaughterBlackheaded Fullblood Bullet Daughter
We bought a black headed nanny in Troy's sale in May 2006. She is a double bred daughter/granddaughter of Jet Black Lignite. She had twin black headed nannies by Bullet on April 3, 2007. This is another one that is going to be hard to part with. If we were to make her better, we'd put a little more daylight under her and make her an inch longer. It's pretty hard to build a perfect one, though isn't it? She oughta make you some spectacular babies out of your red or black billy goat. It will be hard for you to part with them too. She is priced at $750, so come arunnin'!

A Trio of Fancy Percentages

These are three March 07 nannies sired by Pam Perry's Tucker billy goat and out of Hank bred commercial and percentage nannies. The one by the hay stack is a triplet out of the old black Jemima nanny. She is 5/8 but will register as 1/2. Jemima was a granddaughter of Hank and there will be no more of these as Jemima went to the big goat pen in the sky this year. The one with roan ears is out of an own daughter of Hank, Uphoff's Bonnie. She's a twin and will register as a 3/4. The one with solid colored ears is out of a granddaughter of Hank who was sired by our paint Neon goat. She's a twin and will register as a 7/8. Any of these nannies should produce you nice loud colored kids out of a paint or Red or Black billy and might slip you out a colored one out of the right traditional billy. They are all vaccinated and wormed and ready to go. They are priced at $400 each or you can buy all three for $1,000.00. These nannies are good enough that they would not be for sale if they were fullbloods, so if you want to add some class and color to your herd, you'll never have a better chance than this. We'll register them in your name when you buy them.

A Percentage Tex Daughter
A Percentage Tex Daughter
We shouldn't even be offering this nanny for sale. What a way to start a sales pitch. She's a triplet, born on April 16. 2007, sired by Texas Warrior and out of Uphoff's Evelyn, a red and white paint nanny who was sired by Sonora Redneck and out of Little Red. IF you want one to produce you color AND quality all in one package, you don't need to look any further. If you've got a Paint or Red or Black billy that you want to make look spectacular, buy this nanny and breed her and then put her and her kids in the front pasture where those persnickety neighbors of yours are sure to see her and her kids. She would not be for sale if she was a full blood and she's close to that although she'll be registered as a 3/4 in her new owner's name. She looks kinda short and stubby in this picture but it was colder than a mother in law's kiss the morning I went out and took this picture. She's a nice, long backed, square nanny. She'll help your breeding program. She's priced at $450 and you can put a lot of $3 gas through your rig before you'll find another one better.

Double Bred Redneck Billy Goat
This is our first effort at Line Breeding (line breeding is defined as a practice, that when you do it and it works, it's Line Breeding and when your neighbors do it and it don't work, it's called In Breeding). We bred Uphoff's Elmer Fudge who is Gomerby Sonora Redneck and out of Uphoff's Countess Dracula to Uphoff's Elyce who is by Sonora Redneck and out of Cherry (the Witch). Looks like from the size and style of this guy, we can definitely call our project Line Breeding. Elyce had twin billy kids on April 4, 2007. Virgil Hagel was here a day or so after our Open House in early May and picked this one over his brother. A day later he came in packing a hind leg (the goat not Virgil) and packed it for almost a month. While he was gimpy he fell quite a bit behind his brother in size. He finally started using it and has now passed his brother and is sound on his hind leg. He's a lot wider and meatier across his shoulders and in his hind leg than his brother. His brother might be just a tad longer. We call this one Uphoff's Gomer and his brother is Uphoff's Goober. I'm not sure how he's going to turn out but he sure won't hurt your breeding program with all that red and black and paint in his pedigree and he's going to make a right fancy breeding buck in the process. We'd really like to keep him and breed some nannies to him, so you know how much we like him. He's priced at $1200 and you'd better come get him before we decide to keep him.

Uphoff's Garfield

Garfield

You've been to every website in the country looking for a black billy goat. Most all of them you've looked at have a Dairy Goat butt on them. This one has a meat goat butt. He was born April 1, 2007, a son of Fudge and Miss League T57 who is a black and white paint daughter of Troy Powell's Onyx goat. He is a twin and weighed 71# when we weaned him on July 9. He weighed 85# on August 2, and 94# when we showed him at the 4S Goat Expo Meat Goat Show in Lexington, NE on October 7, 2007. He hasn't missed any meals since then. He has just enough white on him to say he has just enough white on him. If you've got some black or black and white paint nannies that you want to make look good, buy this young feller and put him in with them. Think of the replacement nannies you'll get from that cross. We took this picture on February 2, 2008 and he is pretty furry but you can see the good set of drivers he has. He'll help your black breeding program a bunch. He's priced at $1200. You'd better come buy him before the price goes up some more. Oh yeah, almost forgot, his name is Uphoff's Garfield.

Traditional Fullblood Nanny

Doris got this nanny in on trade for one of her Great Pyrenees pups. She's a nice correct little gal, kinda small for her age but she is really nice and square and will make a nice mama when she grows up. She was born January 1, 2007 and is sired by a son of Tarzan T66 and also has Sumo, Killion M381 Avalanche and Okie Boy on her papers. She is a traditional but has a pretty good red spot on her left front leg so I'd guess she'll produce you paint kids if you breed her to the right paint or red or black billy. She is priced at $550 and she is registered with the ABGA and her name is M Hanging 5 Duchess.

The Witch Did It Again - SALE PENDING
Update March 2008
We've had a couple of people call and a couple of e-mails from people who wanted to see some new pictures of him so we thought we'd share them with you on here. His registered nameUphoff's Farmall is Uphoff's Farmall. He has 16 kids on the ground, 6 of them red and one red and white paint out of mostly all traditional nannies. He has 13 more nannies bred to him  to kid in April. He's the longest goat on the place next to his daddy. He hasn't shed off yet in this picture we took on March 19, so he still looks kinda ratty but you get the idea of his length and long musHere's one of Farmall's first kids, a billy. Picture taken at 3 weeks of age.cle. If you've got some some short coupled nannies and would like to stretch out the length of your kids, here's your opportunity and you should get a fair amount of color at the same time. He has a nice disposition and he'll follow you around the world if you're carrying a feed bucket. We think he's a bona fide herd sire, and when you're done with him you're more than welcome to trade him back in on another one. We're leaving his price where it is for the time being, but if he looks like we think he's going to when he finishes shedding off, you might have to put a few more bucks with your investment to own him.

The Witch Did It Again
OH MY!! A dark red full brother to Mike & Chris Stork's, Uphoff's Ernie. This is a twin born April 9, 2006, by Redneck and out of the old Witch, Cherry. #17He is about the same quality as Ernie but has just a tad more white on him. He has the credentials and conformation to be a sure enough herd sire in a registered herd and the kind you'll want to put in the front pasture so the neighbors see him when they drive by. Sure wish we would have got a weaning weight on him but Shawn says he felt like about 80# when we weaned and wormed and vaccinated him. We're kinda proud of him and his price reflects it. We've got him priced at $1200 and we think he's worth every nickel of it. We hope you do too when you come look at him. His number is 17 and you'll drive the wheels off your pickup before you find one that's a darker red or better quality. Come and take a look. That don't cost nothing.

Colorful Commercial LassieColorful Commercial Lassie
This attractive young lady comes complete with a lot of extra red. She is a Spring 2007 edition and only a commercial but she has to have some powerful genetics someplace behind her from the looks of her. She probably weighs about 60 lbs. so if you feed her good you could probably breed her late this winter and make your registered billy goat a proven producer of quality kids. She's priced at only $150 and you could do a lot worse than putting a pen full of this kind together if you're serious about commercial meat goat production.
