In Memory of my Father “Agapito Rivera Trevino” known as the “Caballo Blanco” in Reynosa, Mexico.

Originally from the valley, he was born and raised in Pharr, Texas.  My father grew up in a family that raised goats and he was taught the methods of raising livestock for meat production.  Our land was large enough to herd over 200 goats which were used for meat production.  In late 1969, he moved to Crowley, Texas.  Being instructed in the art of raising meat production goats came in handy.  Enjoying life, being united with the family and coming from the Hispanic Culture, we would gather for a feast almost every weekend with my father & mother (Maria A. Trevino).  They would always prepare the Goat Meat called, Cabrito - meaning Baby Goat.  These are goats that are 30 to 40 days old and they are considered a delicacy in the Hispanic cultures.  All my life I’ve enjoyed the healthy red meat.

In 2000, my husband and I decided to buy a small Ranch in the country and move our family there.  The place sits in Venus, Texas.  I would not change it for the world.  It keeps us going in life always continually working on the Ranch.  This move was done mainly for our children in order to introduce them to a simpler more wholesome environment as I had as a child.  Raising livestock is central to our lifestyle.  We feel that this is a valuable source of “life lessons” for our family.

We have full blood Boer goats,  Purebred and Percentage Boer goats that exemplify the breed standards and carry some of the best genetics in the country.  We believe this mixture will leave us with a very solid herd in the long run.

In choosing our foundation herd, we searched for breeding programs that emphasized heavy muscling, length, depth of body, strong top line and legs, excellent maternal ability.

As you browse through our website, keep in mind that our goats are in pasture condition.  Our does are rotationally grazed and browsed throughout the summer and receive grass hay during the winter.  Supplementation with pelleted feed is utilized to meet the elevated nutritional requirements during growth, late pregnancy and lactation.  We prefer our goats lean and healthy rather than heavily supplemented and overweight.
