Spring 2026 Boer Goat Herd

We bought this small herd of Boer goats from Joel and Liz Moreau on 4 April 2026. 

One Buck, which I call Buddy, 10 Does, and 9 kids which belonged to five of the does.  Doe 1138 had a single doeling on 26 April.

Quick Update

 It's been a while since anyone paid attention to our "blogs".  I will attempt to get them updated on a regular basis.  We also have a FB "Anchored Farms" page and an Instagram "Anchored Farms".  Feel free to follow all three. These pictures were taken on 31 January 2022.

Not Guinea eggs, just some chicken eggs.

Quick Update

 Time flies when you're having fun.  A lot has happened since 2019.  I will attempt to update this form of e-journal on a regular basis.

This pictures were taken on 10 Jan 2022.  Josiah wanted to wait to celebrate his birthday, until Grandma Stark could be here for the celebration.  She was gone for almost a year, spending time with the other family members in Arizona, Washington, and Oregon.

Crimson Farrows 22 Sep 2020

 Our Red Wattle sow gave birth to 15 piglets.  Unfortunately, three were stillborn, but she was done farrowing when Chris went out to do morning chores on 22 Sep.

Piglets looking for warmth, as they don't produce much body heat for the first week of life.  This picture was taken 24 Sep.

 Spice gave birth to twins on 17 September, one buckling,  and one doeling. The doeling was deceased. The little buckling in this videos is small, and is doing well.

Chickens Are Awesome

We have about 21 hens that are currently laying.  all of our birds get locked up at night, but "free range during the day.  We have 16 Guinea hens as well. Living in Missouri and the country, ticks are a "dime a dozen", so the guineas come in quite handy.   We call the rooster, Big Red, and there are a few hens that stay close to him.
