We have been breeding Boer and Cashmere goats on our farm at Lunan Bay since 2016 for commercial purposes, using a foundation stock of imported pure-bred Boer genetics from Australia and run a successful goat meat operation, along with selling goats to commercial breeders, studs and hobbyists. All of our goats are reared outdoors and are pasture-fed, apart from kidding season.
Our herd has a High Health Status and has been closed since 2017. Our goats are up-to-date with our vet-approved health plan, which includes vaccinations, coccidiostats and worming treatment plans. Our herd is accredited with SRUC Premium Goat Health Screen and is free of CLA, CAE and Johnnes (last tested July 2022). As of May 2023, we have 270 goats in our herd, including pedigree Boers, commercial Boer/Cashmere crosses, Cashmeres for fibre production and our latest arrivals, Pygmies.
With all purchases of our goats, we provide before and after sales care and supply a vet-approved health and nutrition plan. Collection is preferred but in some cases we can deliver at cost. We are located 1:30hr drive north of Edinburgh on the East coast of Angus (DD11 5RL).
