Jada Young Jada and her family have raised Boer Goats for a little over two decades now in North East Texas. Hello my name is Jada Young currently serving under Area 5 of the JABGA Board of Directors, and as the JABGA Treasurer. I have been involved in the Boer Goat industry my entire life. My family and I have raised Boer Goats for a little over two decades now in North East Texas. What started out as a love for the animal has grown into an appreciation of the industry, and the history of the breed. Over the past decade I have exhibited my livestock from my regional show, all the way to the ABGA & JABGA National shows. We have had some extreme luck in the competition field, and have gained many lifelong friends along the way. My love for the Boer Goat has influenced me to continue on in the industry outside of the show ring. I plan to build my career around these animals in the near future.
