Welcome to C and E Goats web site. We are a small goat farm in north
central Arkansas near the picturesque town of Quitman in the foothills of the Ozark mountains. Our passion for goats
began in 1993 after buying a couple of goats to clear brush on our 6 acre farm. That turned into breeding pygmy goats
for pets. We puchased our first Boer goats in 2002 and realized very quickly that we needed a lot more room, so we puchased
a 41- acre farm in Quitman and moved the herd from Little Rock northward. Our goal is to raise TOP QUALITY, HEALTHY
Boer goats for Show and Breeding stock. We currently have 19 fullblood and percentage breeding does with bloodlines
that include Mufasa, Yabu, Tabu, Eggstreme, Mojo Magic,and Kaptein. We are always learning something new about
goats, and enjoy going to goat conferences and sales where we can meet other goat breeders and owners. We enjoy talking goats!
Because we both work full time, we are not able to show our goats at the moment, but plan to in the future as
time permits.
Our Mission is to raise
HEALTHY, SUSTAINABLE Boer goats that require very little management! We do NOT pamper our goats! But we do love our goats
and want what is best for them. We realize that we could have a bigger, better buck, with more show points, or better breeding,
or a larger butt, or bigger pecks, ect. BUT, if your babies are being born weak, your bottle feeding a lot of them, they die
if born during a cold snap, live the winter in a barn, have pneumonia a lot of the time, or your losing 50% of your babies
each year to a variety of problems, then those "Ennobled Bloodlines" aren't doing you very much good! We raise
our babies outside with their mothers! We breed for hardiness! We have foundation does that are 6, 7, and 8 years old. They
raise their babies so we don't have to. They have their babies in the winter, in 20 degree weather or colder with
no heat lamps. The mamas teach their babies how to stay warm. We do provide shelter for them to use as they need, but we don't
force them into the barn. Our buck stays with the females year round. They breed when they want. We provide protection, feed
and a watchful eye!
Please feel free to contact us either by phone or e-mail. We always enjoy meeting new "goat people".
