Welcome to our farm, located in scenic Morgan County on the river bank of the historic Muskingum River, in southeastern Ohio between Zanesville and Marietta. The area is famous for its Appalachia style of life, and the ruggedness of the terrain. The 170 acre farm was named "Eagle Bend" in the early 1900's by prior owners due to the sharp bend in the river and the bald eagles that frequented this section of the river. Today it is still common to see bald eagles here in their glory.
Our history of goats, goes back to 1997, we started with a pygmy goat named "Pepper" (we lost her this year at the age of 12). We began breeding Nubians that we showed at our fair. The transition to meat goats soon followed, as we like the growth rate, temperament, and strength of the animals. Our transition to the registered Boers, was due to the fact we wanted better all around quality, than the traditional unregistered meat/market animal. We enjoy showing as a family in the ABGA show circuit, and locally at the county fair as well!
