Pine Log Creek
Farms is a small, family-owned farm in Northeast Bartow County,
Georgia. The farm is snuggled against the Pine Log Creek in the
foothills of the Pine Log mountains. Our family is the fourth
generation to live and farm here, although we are the first to
have goats! In addition to our herd of Boer goats, We have a
small flock of chickens that can only be described as over rated
(and over fed) alarm clocks.
We
discovered Boer Goats in 2003 when we took our daughter to the
rodeo in Montgomery, Alabama. There was a Boer Goat show taking
place that day and we stopped in to watch. At the time we were
considering buying some market lambs for Addie, but when we saw
her reaction to the goats we knew that goats were what we
wanted. We began to research about goats by attending shows,
clinics, goat field days, and visiting other farms in order to
learn as much as we could. In December 2004, we bought our first
registered Boer Goat, BZI Burdock (grandson to EGGSFile) from
BZI Farms. The
rest, as they say, is history. We now have between 30 and 40
registered 100% Full blood Boer goats.
We also started participating in shows in
2006. Showing is a lot of hard work, but the people are great -
and so are the goats. It is a very family oriented atmosphere,
and gives us lots of time to spend with our daughter and new
friends, which makes all the hard work worthwhile.
In 2007, we redefined our
herd to include only show stock and animals bred and raised on
our farm. It will be a slow process, but worth it in the long
run. We have started adding only the finest quality animals,
including South African Genetics and Texas bred and raised
animals.
We would love for you to
visit our farm and talk with you about our goats, and if you ask
nicely, you can even see those little chickens!
In July 2008, we added
our newest addition, Lucy. Addie is very proud of her little sister and
can't wait to teach her all about goats!
2009 promises to be a busy year with 2 little girls and their goats.
See you
