Our Mission
Providing leadership in genetic advancement of sheep and meat goat
industries and assisting those with whom we work to reach their highest
potential in profitability and enjoyment of life.
Our
History
In
the early 1850’s William Boyer arrived in the Salt Lake Valley from
England. As he was a coal
miner and entrepreneur, Brigham Young sent him to Coalville to begin the
development of coal mines. Later
his son, Joseph Henry discovered that he would rather work with livestock
than mine coal, so he started large commercial herds of sheep and cattle. Later his son, Joseph LaVern, found that you could survive
the Great Depression if you both mined coal and raised livestock.
Livestock enterprises on the ranch have included Royal Blood Horse,
a well known Quarter Horse racing entity; a hybrid herd of high production
beef cattle, draft horses, and the famous Boyer Rambouillet flock that is
well known in the United States a source flock for stud rams and ewes.
In 1992, Carrie Gibson, also a third generation sheep producer,
became a full partner in Boyer Land and Livestock.
In 1994, Carrie purchased the first fullblood Boer buck and crossed
him on the motley crew of fullblood Sannen nurse goats that had been a
part of the sheep operation for years.
The first cross made us believers and fullblood Boer does were soon
purchased. In 2008 the Boyer Boer
flock, known as Chalk Creek Boers, consisted of
350+ goats after importing the new Australian genetics to the USA.
Since then we have downsized to just a few. Our commitment to the Boers is the same as it has been to the
Rambouillets, ‘only the finest’!
