While visiting other farms across the South, Wade witnessed hobby farms and ranchers divesting of their modern goat breeds. Several of whom have chosen to raise Spanish goats and Katahdin sheep. These breeds are well adopted to the region\u2019s heat and humidity. Each is also known to be hardy, healthy and productive. As of 2021, Cracker Farms, added a small herd of verified Spanish Koy goats to their pastures. No, they may not grow as quickly as the modern meat goat breeds but as one old time farm stated, \u201cI buried more of my Boer goats every year than I took to market, that\u2019s why I switched.\u201d Cracker Farms also began raising Katahdin sheep for the production and marketing of Katahdin Lamb.
