Got Goats???
At Crains Run Ranch we have built a strong herd through carefull selection of Herd Sires and breeding Dams. Our kid culling program is based on birth & weaning weights as well as confirmation. "Culls", those kids that don't meet our standards, are typically sold as pets or companion animals. Does must be outstanding mothers, kid easily, produce twins on a regular basis and provide plenty of milk to their offspring. Bucks must be docile but eager breeders.
At the moment we have 3 Herd Sires and multiple Dams that are used in our "closed herd" breeding program. "Out-breeding" or breeding to goats outside our "bloodline" is kept to a minimum, this helps keep disease and other problems to a minimum. However, out-breeding must be done from time to time for a variety of reasons. CRR has had a healthy, disease free closed herd for several years. During the summer of 2008, we added StarBuck, with genetics from the HALR & Coyote Creek line His first kids were outstanding (see Buster & Petey below)! In 2010, we will be retiring Simon and using StarBuck & Clifford as our primary sires but introducing Petey and Buster to some of the younger gals.
Here are the BUCKS of CRR......
CCR Simon (Creek Corner Line) StarBuck (HALR/Coyote Creek line)
CRR Buster (son of StarBuck) CRR Clifford (son of Simon)
CRR Petey ("polled" son of StarBuck)
These are some of our girls...........many are FOR SALE, too!!!

In 2008 Crains Run Ranch reached a herd size milestone of 40+ adult goats!!! We are currently still reducing our herd size and some of our goats listed on this page may be sold or have sales pending. Therefore, some goats may or may not be available when you call or e-mail us. Please contact us about availability!
