Mumford Meadows began in 1992 with a handful of Pygmy goats. In 98' the Pygmy's were sold and in 99' Cory joined the UMass student run boer goat herd. Then in 01' we began our own herd of percentage and fullblooded boer goats. We are developing a cross using some great genetics out of animals going back to Mojo Magic, Sasquatch, Vlek, and Tarzan T66, and a little of P/H top lines thrown in there as well. We try to outcross our animals in these parameters to increase the vigor of that animal, while maintaining certain characteristics. We strive to produce an animal with a phenotype that expresses the genetic makeup of what that animal can be. Taking into consideration the feet and legs, depth of body, length, and muscle of the animals we breed. We also look to keep only the hardiest animals, and those that do best under pasture conditions.
