Do you sell your Boers for meat? The market is growing unbelievably around here. I don't have Boers, but have considered it.

Yes they do sell them. This year so far, they've increased their herd by around 50 head. About 50/50 does/bucks. They seem pretty happy about it. By next April, they'll be cashing in the bucks before they start to stink. Around here too, Cabrito goes up big time for cinco de mayo. The kids know to hold out 'til mid April before heading to the sale barn for the best $$$$.
I'll pass on the mountain lions. We've got a few big bob cats, but thats it for bad cats. They don't bother the kids goats, so we don't bother them.
Her next mod for her AR is a brass catcher. She wants to do some helicopter pig thinning and daddy doesn't want brass getting lodged in places it shouldnt be. Like flight controls !!
