Welcome to Cuneo Valley Ranch! We are a family established ranch located in Amador County that has been in the family for six generations. Our ranch was mostly homesteaded over the years and Ulysses S. Grant signed our deed of trust. Not only have we raised goats, we have also had sheep, cows and hogs through out years.
Our ranch started with Angora goats when my Uncle Vernon and Grandfather went to Texas and bought a truck full of goats to bring back to California around fifty to sixty years ago. The goats they brought back were mostly for brush control around the ranch.
We started our boer adventure around 1987 when we had bought a Kiko Boer cross buck along with around 40 other cross bred goats from Stephani Berry of Lillie Hill Farms to breed for a better meat industry goat, little did we know what we were jumping head first in to.
In 2007 is when we really got into the Boer goat industry, and decided to go for a complete herd of Boer goats. We found Olive Knoll Ranch and a wealth of information and help from them. We then purchased and buck and six does from them. We had just bought our first few show goats. (Thank You Catherine and Ardelle.)
We had also met a couple more ranches that have also been very helpful in carrying us through our adventure. Such as Tim Mathies of Boers R Best as well as Justin and Jennifer Burns of J and J Livestock. They have helped us out tremendously in the showing industry, but we have also made a name for ourselves in both the breeding and market industry. |
