Guten Tag. My name is Edelweiss and life is tough when you are only a percentage doe. In below zero degree weather and in the middle of the night I had to birth, clean off and feed these four boys, who had a combined birth weight of 38 pounds. Furthermore, I had to raise the boys without any help and it took a lot to ensure that their combined daily weight gain was 1.82 pounds ... yep, you read it correctly that comes out to a .456 pound weight gain, per boy, per day.

After raising my four boys I got dragged out of the pasture and put in the show ring where I was a 3 time Senior Champion, 3 Time Grand Champion, Best Doe in Show and 1 Reserve Grand Champion. I think at my age and my accomplishments, I should be able to retire, don’t you?

Good day. We are Louise and Marylou. Forget the Fullbloods, forget Edelweiss. We are the up and coming Percentage Boer Does at Hill Place Farm. This is us with our latest Produce of Dam win at the Fall ESMGPA Show.

We are Hill Place Farm’s percentage herd and our kidding stats have been stellar every year. 2005 was no exception. Our kidding rate was 228%, our kids averaged 8.85 pounds at birth and grew on average .51 pounds per day. That’s pretty impressive when you consider the long frigid winters in upstate New York. Our kids start arriving in January. Choose your kids early, put them on "layaway" and pick them up when they are 12-weeks-old.
