The
Bethlehem Boer Goat Ranch XG Brand consists of three (3) key points:
The first
point is our equal concentration on the genetics of our sires
and does. Our primary focus is to develop an animal that has consistent
characteristics. We concentrate on the muscle, size and frame
of the breeded animal. Our does have good milk capacity, a strong
mothering instinct and the production of multiple kids. Our bucks
not only achieve these goals, but they produce offspring that
are better than the buck himself!
Secondly,
the Bethlehem Boer Goat Ranch developed a strong core of bucks
called our "Trilogy". The Trilogy consists of Tarzan,
Vlek & Snoopy. The genetics from the sires are the foundation
of the XG Brand. These genetics are selected because they "throw
true" when creating their offspring. The combination of these
phenotypes, physical characteristics, and genotypes, genetic make-up,
are the core of the XG Brand. The Trilogy plus our top quality
does breed this superior generation.
And finally,
we at the Bethlehem Boer Goat Ranch build off of our Trilogy to
create better genetics. We have devised a distinct breeding program
developed over the years using Tarzan, Vlek & Snoopy along
with different combinations of that animal. These genetics are
the latest South African genetics to come to the U.S. Our main
bucks are live imports from Australia ... first generation South
African genetics.
Dollar for
dollar, the Bethlehem Boer Goat Ranch has greater genetic power
in our production stock than anyone else in the U.S. We continually
strive to create the best combination of genetics to accelerate
our foundation. With these genetics, we are producing a semen
program to breed back to the original sires.
The Bethlehem
Boer Goat Ranch has a clear and concise genetic program with proven
results that create production animals with consistent traits.
It is our firm belief that our narrow focus on genetics allows
the genetic strengths to be multiplied through careful line breeding
and bringing in new line crosses when new traits are required.
To make a great buck, you need a great doe, which in turn will
create a great kid. This formula is the key to our top-quality
production animals, the key to the XG Brand and the key to our
success. |
