Our family: Madison, Matt, Truman and Elizabeth Belcher
Fourteen years since the first Boer goats arrived on our farm. One of
our foundation breeding bucks in the mid-90s.
With determination and persistence Elizabeth was able to convince the New Mexico State
Fair the Boer breeding goat and consequently the market shows were going to be a viable
and strong industry and there is a need to plant and except the start of this industry in the
state. In 1998 the New Mexico State fair agreed to allow the International Boer Goat
Association to host the first breeding show coordinated by Elizabeth and the IBGA. (photo)

and encourage acceptance for market wethers in local

Mexico attended. Coni Ross and President Bill Banker -
from American Meat Goat Association graciously accepted
the invitation to lecture.
