Herd History

Our herd contains both well known boer lines and unknown lines whose value we have discovered and utilized. We use bucks we made as well as AI to maintain diversity in our core herd.  Our core is broken down into 9 bloodlines that we term "Anchor".  Anchor lines are the backbone of our breeding system - all Anchor lines descend from a female that has proven herself without fail in a single instance. Bucks are selected on the same criteria while also giving consideration to which genetics are related.  

Bucks we have standing and will have kids available in 2024 from are:

WHOLESOME HILL WHITE NOISE (white from Anchor Champagne line and Anchor Skittles)
WHOLESOME HILL STRUTT BIG PAPI (traditional  Anchor Summertime Line)

WHOLESOME HILL FAT ALBERT (Big Angel Anchor line, huge Old World type)
WHOLESOME HILL SPLITTIN' ACES (Champagne Anchor line, tall modern type)
WHOLESOME HILL WHATTA CHONK (Champagne Anchor, Wethersire)

Wholesome Hill AI Bucks

WHOLESOME HILL WHITE BOII (Skittles Anchor, AI Sire)


Junior bucks for 2024:

WHOLESOME HILL SIZE MATTERS (Big Star Anchor)
WHOLESOME HILL PULLING YOUR CARD (dappled paint, Big Kissy Anchor)
WHOLESOME HILL GRIND CULTURE (black, Big Kissy Anchor)


"Explosion" 
Explosion was a large red dapple buck who tested  remarkably on performance and genotype.  He produces incredible colored kids loaded with bone, he is the best temperament, most laid back, easy keeping colored buck we have ever owned. Great starting place for dapple genetics with power in his pedigree.  Sire of: Running Amok, Black Action, Fat Albert,  and Halifax

NUBIAN

Our only standing Nubian buck is Lighthouse, a Lulu and Freedom Fighter son. He has sired a son (Leggs) who will be our standing Nubian sire for 2024. 

Our doe herd is our lifeblood. Does rank higher than bucks here - a doe contributes half the genetic makeup to offspring (like a buck), but it is she who stays and works for years, where a buck must be moved once too many daughters are retained.
This is why our Anchor Lines are built on does - we know what to expect from a doe we have experience with.  Many of our Anchor does are multiple generations away from the original and therefore greatly improved - those originating does, all unrelated (except the Angel line), have been tested and judged by yields. We continue to select for the original traits present in the start of each line.
Does that started  Anchor Lines named for them:
Big Kissy
Big Star
Big Angel (Branched Line from Skittles)
Summertime
Champagne
Harley
Skittles 
Harmony
Vogue

In a herd of 120-150 at any given time, we have does that are not from Anchor lines but we own them expecting to cross them in through pairing with the bucks that represent the Anchor lines. Always, always moving forward in size, quality, and temperament. Every buck we hold as standing sire comes from one of the Anchor lines who is unrelated to enough does in the herd to justify his use as a sire.
