Brad and Joanna Carter’s registered Angus and Boer Goats may be a small-time operation, but that doesn’t stop them from taking specific steps towards improving their breeding programs.
“We AI our cattle, but we’re not brave enough to AI our goats,” Joanna laughed. The Carters have had goats for five years, and cattle for longer than that.

So we got goats to take care of it,” he recalled.

Highlanders began being imported into the United States during the mid to late 1800’s when a “herd book” or national registry was established in 1884 making them the oldest registered breed of cattle in the country.
