Lyra
Boy of boy!!. When you get down to putting this quality of nanny on the For Sale page, you know you're cutting deep. We really planned on keeping this little gal since she is an own daughter of Uphoff's Garfield and there'll be no more of them. She's out of Uphoff's Gina who is an own daughter of Texas Warrior by the ennobled Coni Warrior. On the bottom side, Gina is out of a an own double bred daughter of Jet Black Lignite. She's registered in the IBGA. We sure wouldn't breed this nanny to a black billy unless you wanna see some black or black and white paint kids out in the kidding pen next spring. She was born December 25, 2009 (shoulda named her Noel, Tancy) a twin. She'll sure upgrade your fullblood breeding deal for a good many years to come. We priced her at $750. Don't think that's quite enough but we can live with it if you can. Come and get her and make sure you stand her out in the front pasture by the road where those nosy neighbors can get a real good look at her.

-----  -----  -----

Godiva
Godiva is a fullblood, born December 1, 2007, a single. She's by Sonora Bullet and out of Coni Fancy who was an own granddaughter of Coni Ross' ennobled Coni Warrior. Godiva had twins last year and this so that kinda blows that deal in the creek about only keeping twins and triplets in the breeding herd. She is the longest goat on the ranch and an easy keeper and a good mother. She has twin almosta paint billy kids by Cayenne this year. We hate to have these Bullet daughters escape but we've got some Cayenne daughters we want to keep this year and when you get over 70 goats on our little 11.5 acre ranch, it kinda taxes the facilities. So, here's your golden opportunity to upgrade your nanny herd and not have to take out a second mortgage on your ranch to do it. We priced her at $550 and she's sure enough one you want out there in the front pasture by the road.

KEEPERS
Uphoff's Edna and Uphoff's Emma were both born here on the ranch. Edna was born April 17, 2005, a triplet. She is our last percentage daughter of Sonora Redneck, out of Uphoff's Chastidy who was an own daughter of Hank. Chastidy was an own daughter of our old original Big Red, so Edna is actually probably a purebred although she is registered as a 3/4 Boer. Edna usually has twins for us (The Last Double Bred Redneck buck below is one of her offspring) but this year she had a red & white paint single nanny out of Cayenne on May 3. This nanny would be good enough to go into your show string if it wasn't for the little fold in her right ear. She'll register as a 7.8 or 88% Boer. Anything that isn't Boer in her family tree is Nubian. Her name is Uphoff's Jewel and she is aptly named. Emma was born May 24, 2005, a triplet. She is by LAMU Ben and out of Uphoff's Charlotte, a 1/2 Nubian own daughter of Hank. She has produced some of our best commercial billy goats (Ole Yeller below is one of her triplets from last year). This year she had twin nannies by Cayenne, a dark blond and a light traditional with dark red on all four feet. They've been some of the most adventuresome kids we've had this year. They're continually looking for some way to get into trouble. Their names are Uphoff's Johanna and Uphoff's Jodie. They will also register as 7/8 or 88% Boers. The bottom side of their pedigree has a 12% shot of Nubian also.
     These two nannies have been some of our favorites and we really really hate to let them go. You usually only find this quality nannies in dispersal sales. Edna is a pet and will walk up to have you scratch between her horns for her. Emma's feet grow pretty fast through the winter so you'll need to trim them regularly. They both produce milk like the Nubians in their backgrounds and Emma usually gets pretty thin through the summer and we have to grain her a little extra.
     Priced individually, this group of 5 nannies would cost $2,450, and we'd be happy to sell them that way, but if you'll buy the whole package of 5 we'll sell them to you for $1950.
     5 registered nannies, 2 - 3/4 & 3 - 7/8 for less than $2,000. If you know of a better deal, tell us about it and we'll go buy them ourselves.

-----  -----  -----

Little Fi
She was born November 22, 2009. Her sire is Uphoff's Easter Egg a black Polky Dot. Her mother is Uphoff's Fiona a traditional with spots in her red. Fiona died when Little Fi was only 5 weeks old, but fortunately she was eating creep feed good by then, so it only slowed her a little. Easter Egg was 3/4 Boer and 1/4 Nubian as was Fiona, so Little Fi is also. She has really come on this spring. She is long and wide and deep and has a butt a Las Vegas show girl would die for. She wasn't quite slicked off when we took this picture, but she's shiny enough for you to see what she's going to look like later this summer. She's a sister to the Heather nanny we sold Patti Collins up in northern Nebraska last year. If you have a deep red or black billy that you want to impress your neighbors with, buy this nanny and breed her to him this fall. You'll probably have to stop by Wallyworld and buy several sets of their darkest sunglasses to loan folks when they come to see the offspring. We priced her at $550 so you won't have to get a second mortgage on the ranch if you want her standing in your front pasture.

-----  -----  -----

Polky Dots Galore
Here's a couple of Cayenne nanny babies that will blow your sunglasses off . They are Fancy and they are Loud Colored. We really believe they would do OK in the show ring if that's the direction you choose to take them. One thing about it, the judge won't confuse them with some other goats in the ring. They were born on January 2, 2010. Their mother is a red & white Polky Dot commercial nanny that is probably 3/4 Boer & 1/4 Nubian or Spanish. Her name is Jo Jo and she has been gimpy on her right hind leg ever since we obtained her. She produced our heaviest buck kid last year.  He was a Fudge son and we called him Ridgeback cause the hair stood up along his back bone. He weighed in at 74.2# at 105 days of age. We sold him to Chane & Michelle Bidwell in the NRBT sale at Imperial last fall. These two will register as 1/2 Boers and we'll send along the paperwork to their new owners to get that done. They've been vaccinated & wormed twice with Cavalry 9, CL, Chlamydia and Super Poly Bac B Somnus and wormed with Cydectin. We'd recommend that you breed them to a  solid black or a solid red buck. Their kids from that cross should pay for them several times over and you'll have enough left over to buy your wife a new handle for her pitchfork. We priced them at $550 each or you can own the pair for $950.

The First Cayenne Baby
She's a single, born March 6, by our new herd sire Dunroamin Cayenne and out of Miss League T57, the mother of Uphoff's Garfield. She's a black and white oreo and she is FANCY. She's the first kid that people see when they come to look at the kids and last one they remember when they leave.  She weighed 10.5# when she was born and 59.8# when we vaccinated, wormed & tagged her on June 4 at the age of 90 days. It's hard to part with one like this. We priced her at $1500, so if you want to really really upgrade your breeding operation, adding color and quality all in one nanny, here's your opportunity. She'll make your billy goat into a hero.

-----  -----  -----

Big Ole Good Ole Percentage Gal
AHB Mzuri is a registered 1/2 Boer nanny born February 15, 2004. Her sire is Donald Johnston's JWR LR7 who was by MZ Haraka who was by Nzuri who was by Mzuri. Her mother was a commercial 1/2 Boer, 1/2 Nubian nanny. Mzuri is one of the three biggest and one of the two best nannies on our ranch. She weighed 185# on June 4 when we weaned her billy kid off of her that was born March 5. He weighed 57.4# at 91 days of age. Her paperwork is all in order. She's ready to go to your house and make your billy goat a hero. We priced her at $450. We can do better than that if we include her in a package of other commercial, percentage and/or fullblood nannies that we have available.

Bargain Nannies

 
Take a look at two commercial nanny kids that came out of our March OOPS kidding. They would both make good mamas in a commercial herd and aren't going to cost you an arm and a leg to own them.

#325 is a muckledy dun colored twin born March 3. Her mother is out old Nubian nanny we call Granny. She weighed 5# at birth and 35.4# when we vaccinated, wormed, weighed & tagged her at 93 days on June 4. Her mother weighed 116.8# on June 4 and produced 81# of babies.

#324 is a blackheaded twin born March 7. Her mother is black headed fullblood daughter of Black Sam & Uphoff's Countess Dracula, the mother of Fudge. She weighed 8# at birth and 39.4# at 89 days on June 4. Her mother weighed 91# on June 4 and produced 89.6# of babies.

Both of these nannies kidded unassisted in the pasture. These gals were vaccinated with Cavalry 9, CL, Chlamydia and Super Poly Bac B Somnus and wormed with Cydectin on June 4. They'll be ready to go after they get their second shots on June 18 or you can pick them up anytime and give them their boosters at your place. They'd sure make a nice little starter package for some youngster who doesn't have a lot of bucks for their initial investment. We priced them at $250 each or you can own the pair for $400.

We've probably got 10 or 15 head of these commercial nannies around that we could build into a nice economical starter package for you or your youngsters if that's the way you want to go. We'll be weaning our April registered kids by Cayenne in July.

-----  -----  -----

Bargain Billies
Here are three billy kids, the result of our March OOPS kidding. They are all commercials since we don't know who their sire(s) is.

#89, is a red billy born March 3. His mother is our old Nubian nanny Granny. He's a maternal half brother to Ima Dude listed below. He's a twin and weighed 6# at birth and 45.6# at 93 days of age on June 4 when we weaned, wormed, tagged & vaccinated him.

#90 is light red and the heaviest of the three. His mother is AHB Mzuri a registered red 50% Boer nanny. He's a single born on March 5 weighing 12#, and weighed 57.4# at 91 days of age on June 4. We wouldn't recommend him for first timer nannies but he'd sure be good to use on some Spanish or Dairy nannies if you want to increase your weaning weights. We named him Tex when he was born cause he had a steer head with horns on his forehead.

#91 [SOLD] is a red and white Polky Dot, a twin born March 7 weighing 10#. He weighed 50.2# on June 4. His mother is a black headed fullblood daughter of Black Sam and out of Uphoff's Countess Dracula, the mother of Fudge. Like most Polky Dots he doesn't have a lot of weight but he sure is pretty. SOLD, Thanks to the John Loostrom Family, Maxwell, NE.

All of three of these nannies kidded unassisted in the pasture. You can have your choice of the three of these billies for $250 each or buy all 3 of them for $500. They'll all work good in a commercial operation. They were vaccinated with Cavalry 9, CL, Chlamydia and Super Poly Bac B Somnus and wormed with Cydectin on June 4. They'll be ready for their booster shots/worming on June 18 and be ready to go to your house. Or, you can pick them up anytime and give them their second shots at your place.

Pamisaten
Pam was born March 20, 2007, a twin. She is sired by Namontack, a fullblood registered traditional buck whose sire was Tool Time and whose dam was a daughter of Sir Edmond. Her mother was a big black Nubian/Boer/Spanish nanny, so Pam is registered as a 1/2 Boer. She is the mother of the high indexing buck in the 2009 NRBT. He had the biggest REA of all the bucks in the test, many of who were quite a bit older than him. He was "Harry" and was sired by Uphoff's Easter Egg. On November 27, 2009, she had this black/brown headed nanny who is a full sister to that buck. She is one of the fastest growing, fanciest, nanny kids we've ever had on the ranch. If she were registerable, she would definitely be show material. Here's a mother/daughter package for someone who wants to get into the production meat goat business in a real serious way. We priced this family at $750 OR you can buy this package and Painted Lady and her red nanny kid below. That nanny kid was born April 25 and is sired by Harry . You can buy the whole package of 4 nannies all for just $950. What a nice package to get you into the Boer Meat Goat business. You could drive from Mullen, Nebraska to Milliken, Colorado and not find a nicer set of starter nannies than these. And if you need a billy goat to breed this package to later on, we can provide you with either a fullblood registered or commercial sire. We will either sell him to you or lease him to you. What a cross these gals will make on a Cayenne son!!

-----  -----  -----

Coni Fannie

 
If you're wanting to upgrade your herd and add some fullbloods, here's the best opportunity you'll have all year. Coni Fannie came directly from the Coni Ross Ranch in Blanco, Texas. She was born May 19, 2006, a twin. She is sired by Coni Saber and out of a daughter of Coni N110, production meat goats at their finest. Her family is a traditional billy and a red and white paint nanny born April 15, sired by our red herd sire Dunroamin Cayenne. The boss says the nanny "ain't for sale", but you can buy the mother when we wean the kids July 28. We've got about 10 or 15 of these nannies we're going to sell from commercials up to fullbloods including 3 fullblood Coni Ross nannies, so you can put together a dandy package if that's the direction you want to go. We priced this gal at $650. She'll be thin as a snake after feeding her two babies this summer, but she's the right kind to raise you some top notch breedings stock.

-----  -----  -----

The Last Double Bred Redneck
This guy was born on May 5, 2008. He weighed 55# at 85 days of age. He's a full brother to the brown and white billy we sold to Mike & Roxanne Fey from South Dakota in the 2008 4S Goat Expo sale. Both his brother & sister in 2009 were red. Winston Corfield bought the billy and Chane & Michelle Bidwell bought his sister. We had him consigned to the Nebraska Range Buck Test Sale in October 2009 but he broke with sore mouth the day before the sale so we had to bring him home. He's got a lot of meat on him. Good length, good depth, good width and real heavy bone. Only place we'd fault him is in his butt. It could stand to be a tad wider. He weighed 128.2# on October 17, 2009 and had a 2.08 Rib Eye Area. His sire is Fudge who was red and his mother is Uphoff's Edna who is a red and white paint, so he'll probably kick you out some pretty wild colored kids if your nannies have a little color in them. Edna is registered as a 3/4 although she is probably about 15/16, so he sells as a commercial. She's out of an own daughter of Hank. We leased this billy out early last fall to a 4H family up in Northwest Nebraska, so he knows how to breed nannies. He's sure not a pet, but he'll follow you anyplace you want to take him if you're carrying a feed bucket.
SOLD, Thanks to Eugene & Wendy McClellan, Liberty, NE.

Handsome Black Hombre
Of all the great kids that Uphoff's Elmer Fudge produced for us in his short lifetime, two billy goats stand head and shoulders above the rest, Uphoff's Garfield and Uphoff's Goodenberger. This black commercial kid ranks right up there with those two. His only shortcoming is his lack of a set of registration papers. His mother is a big, pretty black and white paint commercial nanny (below) that we bought out of a dispersal sale a year ago last fall. We sold her to Dave & Angie Culver at Orleans, Nebraska in a package with some other nannies bred to Fudge in February. We got the opportunity to buy this kid out of the resulting kid crop and we jumped at the chance. He was born in late May, a twin. He weighed 105# when we bought him on January 16, which gives him a WDA of about .44#. He's got everything going for him that you ask for in a commercial herdsire, length, width, depth, and a hind leg surpassed only by his paternal half brother Garfield. When he sheds off next spring, he'll be an almost iridescent black with red highlights. He also has a little roan spot on his right shoulder. Maybe he'll produce some Polky Dots for you. Now, all you've gotta decide is how important those breed association papers are to your breeding program. How many goats do you sell each year that are good enough to survive the politics of the show crowd? Or are you more interested in kids with some extra color that will mash the scales down at weaning time? If you want to preserve his pedigree, you can register him in the Colored Meat Goat Registry. You can get details on their website. We priced him at $550 and that's the highest we've ever priced a commercial billy goat. That's how much we think of him. We'd like to breed a couple of nannies to him next fall if he stays close enough so that we can. When you see him, we think you'll agree that he's well worth the money.

Black Hombre has been entered in the Nebraska Range Buck Test at Enders, NE. He will be sold in the auction following the completion of the test in October.

-----  -----  -----

Painted Lady
She's only a commercial, but boy is she nice. She's the kind you can build a whole meat goat herd around. Probably born about mid March and weighs in at about 60#. You could probably breed her late this fall if you'd feed her really good from now till then. Probably sired by a fullblood Boer billy and out of a percentage Boer nanny, so she's probably at least 3/4 Boer although we have no documentation on her. She just has a white leg and a little gash of white on her left side but has a whole big splotch of white on her right side. You'll want to invite the neighbors over to take a look at her when you get her home. They'll likely try to swap you out of her. She's only priced at $350, so you won't have to mortgage your wife and first born to afford her.

Painted lady celebrated the birth of a dandy little red nanny baby on April 25. She is sired by the high indexing buck in the 2009 Nebraska Range buck test. A 100% increase in numbers but 0% increase in price. Bargain time at the Uphoffs.

-----  -----  -----

Polky Dots Aplenty
Wish we had a whole pasture full like this one. He's a twin by Fudge and out of the old Nubian nanny we call Granny. He was born April 6 and has a twin Polky Dot sister. He weighed 5# and his sister weighed 4#. He stuck out from the whole bunch of kids all spring and it's easy to see why. Then when we weaned and wormed and vaccinated them on July 21, he was the second heaviest kid, weighing in at 68.2#. Not too shabby for a 1/2 Boer, 1/2 Nubian. Boy, if you've got a bunch of Plain Jane nannies that you want to help color wise and weaning weight wise, you could do a whole lot worse than buying this guy. He was 105 days old when we weaned him so his Weight Per Day of Age is .65#. His name is Ima Dude and his price tag is $450. Kinda hate to see him go.

As of September 10, Dude is getting a lot more black on his neck and head. He should be a sure enough color producer for you. You'll like the quality of his kids too.

Our Best 2009 Commercial Billy Kid
Uphoff's Emma had triplets on February 23 by Texas Traveler. She raised all three without any problems and they all stayed nice and even for size. Emma is 3/4 Boer, 1/4 Nubian, Sired by our old TAMU Ben goat that we sold to Mike and Chris Stork. She is white. Her dam was Uphoff's Charlotte who was an own daughter of HANK and out of a registered Nubian nanny. Emma has consistently weaned our best commercial billies. I think this is the first time she has had any nanny kids for us. Her billy kid from this litter weighed 61.9# on May 23. His number is 86 and his price is $400. He's a little short on color, got a real light red  head and light red on both of his front legs but more important, plenty of width, plenty of length, plenty of depth and PLENTY of butt. He'll make you some nice soggy commercial babies. If you're tired of hauling those 35# weanlings to the sale barn, take a real serious look at this kid. He'll upgrade your bottom line considerably. He's ready to put in the pasture with your best commercial nannies the day you get him home. We've started calling him Ole Yeller because of his color. He's a people friendly goat. He enjoys being around folks. He's not pushy and he's not a pet, he just kinda hangs out with you when you're in the billy goat pen. Just an easy going, well mannered young man. He's been vaccinated twice with Cavalry 9, Super Poly Bac B Somnus, CL and Chlamydia and wormed twice with Cydectin.

Polky Dot Making Machine
Black is Beautiful and so is White and so is Red. If you want one to produce you Polky Dot kids out of most any kind of a billy goat, here's the best opportunity you'll have for a long long time. She's mostly all Nubian, but from the looks of her ears, she might have an Alpine granddaddy or grandma someplace back in her family tree. She's probably about 4 years old, is polled  pretty gentle although she's not a 'stick her head in your hip pocket' pet. She's bullheaded and a hard keeper, so you'll want to feed her a little grain everyday. She raised the black "few spot Polky Dot" billy kid  and a traditional nanny with Polky Dots in her red head that we sold to Chane & Michelle Bidwell last year. You could drive a lot of miles and not find a better Polky Dot producing prospect. We priced her at $350 and like all the goats that come from Uphoffs she has been vaccinated with Cavalry 9, Super Poly Bac B Somnus, CL, Chlamydia and wormed with Cydectin. We even chewed her feet off just a little. They weren't bad, just needed a little TLC. Come a runnin you'll like her. Her first set of kids from your fullblood Boer or Kiko billy goat will pay for her and leave your wife a little to spend foolishly.  And, she was turned in with Cayenne our new red herd sire on Nov. 13.
