The Cal-West Boer Connection had their 3rd Annual Production Sale on September 17th, 2005 at the Sundance Ranch in Lodi, CA. Sundance Kids, Shadow Ridge Ranch and this year Wildflower Meat Goats offered 60 goats ranging from 5 mos to 4 years old, percentage does, fullblood does and bucks. The foundation of this sale is quality, while trying to produce some of the top genetics in California.
With over 100 people in attendance, the prices on these animals proved that quality does make a difference.
