The Boer Boks are featured on the front page of the Staunton News Leader. You can click on the link under Project Links to view it. There are also 9 pictures of the goats you can access when looking at the article as well. It is a good article to let people know about the project and to answer the question.... What are goats like these doing at a place like this?
There are a few corrections to the printed article. (They corrected the article that is online.) The most important one is we did not receive a grant from USDA. We received a grant from a private family foundation through the Shenandoah Resource Conservation and Development Council, which is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization composed of volunteers across the Valley.
Somehow we ended up with a picture of our ugliest goat on the front page that isn't even a Boer Bok. She is Black Betty, a very old Nubian that we retired this year. She has a face only a mother could love. :)
We will have some more articles coming out soon and will keep you posted on when and where you can view them.
