CBA Boer Goats started in 1999 with a few Spanish and Boer cross
goats and what our son thought (at the time) was one of the best
looking solid white unregistered Boer bucks. Fullblood?
Who knows for sure? Mom and Dad (Bob and Alma) never even
considered getting into the goat business. CBA stands for the
3 of us, Carlos, Bob and Alma.
Our introduction
into the real Boer Goat world started when our son insisted we go
visit a woman he met in Rosharon who had Boer goats. This was Gayla and Tony Matthews of Brakah Farms in Rosharon, Tx. We
gave in to our son’s request and headed out with the intention of
“just looking” at what she had and if our son wanted to buy that was
his decision. We had no intention at that time of even getting
into the goat business much less starting a herd of registered
stock. As we were walking around her farm admiring her stock,
a 4-month-old bottle baby kept following my wife and wanted to be
touched and held the whole time we were looking. Needless to
say my wife fell for this bottle baby doe and we ended up bringing
her home for a price I thought “ FOR A GOAT “. Gayla later
admitted, jokingly, that she uses bottle babies as bait. Well
it worked and we’ve been hooked ever since.
We have learned a lot the past
several years and owe it all to the breeders we have purchased our
stock from. One thing we have learned is that the people in
this business are not afraid to share information and help out
fellow breeders.
Our goals are to carry on this
trend by assisting not only the people who have purchased our stock,
but also to anyone that has any interest in the Boer Goat business.
My wife is occasionally referred to as Doc. We are also involved
with our local 4-H groups and love working with and helping teach
kids and their parents the pleasures and rewards of raising goats.
We also assist with coordinating
and participating in several sanctioned shows a year along with
assisting with sanctioned and non sanctioned Jackpot shows for the
kids. We have found that this, along with visiting other
breeders is one of the best ways to learn the business. In
this business you never stop learning, or can never learn enough.
Our other goal is to offer the best in quality and genetics
possible. We are constantly upgrading our herd with not only
our sires but by breeding outside of our current bloodlines.
Our current stock includes Eggs the Sequel, Toro, Bulldog, Easy
Choice and Crown C Tahbo sons and daughters. Our main breeding
buck is the full brother the Multi Champion Circle R Mutumbo and the
2002 IBGA National Grand Champion ABF Meatloaf. Our other top
bloodlines include Ash Creek Hard Copy, Kaptien, Oscar, Romeo, Mojo
Magic and many other top bloodlines. We are always looking for
ways to improve our stock. We want to be able to offer the
same quality as we would expect to purchase.
We look forward to a
bright future in this young and maturing business and wish everyone
who is in or looking to get in, all the best. Please visit our

Goats can help you achieve your goals.
