Linda West of Whitesboro, Texas, is the managing partner of Circle Bar W Boers, a Boer goat breeder and judge with a passion for mentoring and the industry.

Linda West lives in Whitesboro, Texas and is the managing partner of Circle Bar W Boers. In 2003 she and her husband Lynn, who passed away in 2015, along with their two sons Ken and Jason transition from registered Quarter horses and Angus cattle to the Boer goat industry. Starting with only two does and a buck, they grew their herd and in 2009 they were honored to win the National Champion Senior buck class at the National show with Teflon. 

Along the show trail Linda met and made many friends and she enjoyed mentoring dozens of JABGA kids that have gone on to college and to families themselves. Linda was also honored to serve as director for region seven and over saw the production of two national shows.

After she passed judging school, she has judged from East to West Coast and has a few states left to visit.  She has a passion for the breed and considers it an honor to have the opportunity to judge across the country & meet new people and see some amazing animals.
