Although Terraweena is very much a commercially based company with its focus on growing the meat goat and goat meat industry, worldwide, we very much recognise the importance of maintaining a high profile in terms of quality of stock.  For that reason we ensure that we attend the Australian National Boer Goat Championships and State Championships on an annual basis to allow expert judges to assess our animals when competing with Australia's best.

From another viewpoint, attending the main shows is not only a highly challenging exercise, but is also a deeply fulfilling experience as we unite with other breeders in showcasing these wonderful animals for the world to see.   Serious breeders all achieve the same adrenalin rush in a showring with their finest animals on display and an independent world expert ranking them, professionally and indisputably, into their assigned positions.

Since the commencement of what is now called the Australian National Championships, Terraweena has exhibited at all but one of the eleven National Championships which have taken place in Australia, the first one being in 1997.

Terraweena prides itself on being the most decorated stud overall to have attended the Australian National Championships.

Throughout the eleven years that it has been held,

Terraweena has been awarded: 

    7 Supreme Exhibits

    8 Grand Champion Does

    3 Grand Champion Bucks

    6 Senior Champion Does

    3 Junior Champion Does

    4 Junior Champion Bucks

    2 Reserve Senior Champion Does

    2 Reserve Junior Champion Bucks

   Most Successful Exhibitor on numerous occasions

Terraweena consistently wins Most Successful Exhibitor at State level.  In 2007 Terraweena elected to take no does whatsoever and only take two young bucks to the State Championships in a bid to maintain a lower profile and support emerging quality from other studs.

Although our achievements at State level should not be diminished by our national record, it is the National Championships that provides a country wide comparison and the international flavour of top South African judges leaves no room for doubt.  A broad ribbon is a broad ribbon, awarded to the best animal on the day and it brooks no argument.

Terraweena's philosophy is not to rest on its laurels.  Many other studs have excellent quality animals too which is so beneficial to our industry as it hones the edge of competition and incentivises next year's breeding policies.  It is our firm belief that every stud benefits from the cutting edge of the National Championships. Whether parading ones own animals or merely attending as an onlooker,  it is the only certain way of ensuring an up to date and informed status in our ever-improving and progressive industry.

So named to include all the countries of the partnership's origins, NUSAA is the culmination of input from breeders in Namibia, the USA and Australia.

Nusaa is a partnership whose American arm is based in Coalville, Utah with Tom and Carrie Boyer of Chalk Creek Boers,  Namibian partners Dirk Louw, Willie Coetzee, Oubaas Steenkamp and Ronnie Coleman and the ABS principles, Geof and Celia Burnett-Smith.

This partnership was developed to supply the American Boer goat industry with a number of new, elite genetic lines.

Nusaa has already conducted a live animal export consisting of 20 superior quality animals to act as a prelude to a much larger export of 400 embryos which will be implanted at Chalk Creek later this year. 

Donors for the embryo collection include the 2007 Australian National Grand Champion Buck, Terraweena Burger, the 2006 Australian National Grand Champion Doe, Terraweena 1450 and other famous sires such as Lazareth, Abraham, Chrome, Morris and Moshie (son of Moses).  An equal number of elite sires and dams from the Amani Stud are donors for this same collection, including Amani Rupert and representatives from the Amani Atlantis, Amani Lancelot and Amani Lazer bloodlines.

It is our belief that this breeding nucleus will reflect the quality of our stock to good advantage and better facilitate the growing demand that our company receives from the region.

These animals were selected by Geof and Celia Burnett-Smith, in conjunction with Dirk Louw and Willie Coetzee.  All animals were selected specifically to represent leading bloodlines from the individual studs, for breeding performance and for their overall quality.  

The stock was moved to a quarantine facility in Melbourne following their appearance at the 2007 National Championships in Sydney, where they had competed strongly, proving they were well and truly amongst the country's best.

The Nusaa partnership is an exciting prospect for all those involved.  We look forward to providing the American Boer goat indsutry with a new alternative in elite stock in the coming months.

To register interest in these new genetics or for any general enquires, please contact Tom and Carrie Boyer (Utah, USA), or Geof and Celia Burnett-Smith (Queensland, Australia).

So impressed with the Terraweena stock, were the principles of BMW farms, that they made a significant investment and the concept of developing a superior new stud based on the Terraweena lines, became a reaility.

Terraweena International has already exhibited at this year's National Championships and secured the second most points of any stud from Queensland behind its sister stud, Terraweena.  The stud also shares in the ownership of many of the top bloodlines and promises to be an exciting supplier of premium genetics.

ABS has entered this partnership, which will also produce sheep and cattle, with the belief that both partners can play their part in meeting the massive demand for these products all over the world.

This partnership is an exciting new development for all those involved which we believe will prove to be a major asset to both the goat meat markets and stud goat markets, world wide.
