Ashley Roles Back to Board of Directors Ashley Roles Region 1 Email My parents would tell you that I was born in a barn. It might have been a sheep barn, but a barn, nonetheless. I was blessed with learning the ins and outs of the show and commercial industry as I had amazing mentors such as Terry Brown and Becky Crighton. I was active in 4-H since the 4th grade and served as a national 4-H ambassador. As of today, I am still involved in 4-H and serve as the Oregon State Fair Meat Goat Superintendent. I served both on the state level and national level in both Oregon Romney Breeders Association and the American Romney Breeders Association. Currently, I teach local youth about herd management through seminars set up by our local 4-H clubs or ag programs. Additionally, I enjoy and travel the Pacific Northwest (PNW) judging market animals at local fairs and/or jackpot shows. I was introduced to the Boer goats in 2008 at the Oregon Meat Goat Producers show and education seminar. I showed in USBGA shows until the ABGA made its way out west, and I joined in 2010. Since 2008, I have run my own herd of Boer goats. My goal has always been to produce high quality stock that can produce something for every kind of customer, from a 4-H kid that is selling at county fair or a doe that can compete at nationals. Currently, I own Culver Family Farm with Tim White, our daughters Lucy and Ella, along with my parents, Scott and Teresa Culver. The last time I counted we had over 180 head of goats and that number just keeps on growing. We sold out of the sheep about 4 years ago and started up Culver Family Farm Transportation Services LLC. This business has allowed me to gain knowledge and perspectives from different farms across the United States. Not to mention to meet and network with some amazing folks. My daytime job is working as a critical care nurse and I have been loving this career for over 10 years; with the last five of that being a charge nurse. I have served on numerous committees at work including policies and procedures, practice committees, and house-wide committees. I also enjoying serving as a preceptor and mentor to nursing students and new nurses. With all these experiences, I believe they have prepared me to represent the ABGA membership. The goat industry is what I work so hard for to promote and engage with in the (PNW). I know full well how the decisions made by the board impacts the breeders, exhibitors, shows, and youth development. It is important to me to keep the industry growing and always have a positive outlook, where we want people to engage various capacities. If Lucy and Ella choose this lifestyle, I want them to have something to look forward to in the industry. Mostly, I want the voices of Region 1 members to be heard here in the PNW, from the smallest hobby herd to the biggest commercial breeders. Thank you, Ashley Roles ABGA Region 1 Director (I do work nightshift and may respond at odd times. If urgent please notify me by 541-231-1222) Previous Director Next Director

Coni Ross was a pioneer and has become a legend within the goat industry; raising goats for more than 40 years. Coni Ross Memorial Class Coni Ross Memorial Class Coni Ross was a pioneer and has become a legend within the goat industry; raising goats for more than 40 years. The Coni Ross Memorial Production Aged Doe Class is designed to allow breeders to showcase the production, functionality and longevity within their doe herds. The animals will be evaluated on their ability to maintain these traits during and after being in production and raising multiple sets of offspring. Body Condition: Animals should be either currently in production and/or of the correct breeding body condition to breed and kid with ease. Animals with excess fat deposits will be faulted. Udder: Does must have a teat structure that allows a newborn kid to easily nurse without intervention. (Good udder attachment, no blown teats, etc.). Structural Integrity: Does should be sound on their feet and legs and exhibit the necessary structural traits: such as strong pasterns and wide pen set; to be functional in a breeding and/or pasture setting without intense management. Production Value: Number and quality of offspring raised. Special Rules: Open to all ABGA registered does (Fullblood, Purebred and Percentage) All does must be 5 years or older. Does must show evident signs they have naturally kidded and raised offspring. Does may be exhibited with any natural born kid under 12 months of age at their side to demonstrate the animal’s production ability and value. **Preference given to does with kids who are currently nursing. Exhibitors will be required to provide production records to include: Kidding dates Number of kids born Breeding information (Natural, AI, etc.) Milking and mothering ability Ease of kidding Production Records Form: Download Record Form ↓ Conis Memorial Class Form .pdf Download PDF • 148KB ABOUT CONI ROSS Coni Ross was a pioneer and has become a legend within the goat industry; raising goats for more than 40 years. During her time in the goat industry, Coni served as a director for multiple associations including: American Boer Goat Association, Texas Cashmere Association, and the American Meat Goat Association. She was also a well-respected judge within the ABGA, and judged the ABGA National Show six times throughout her judging career. Coni Ross Coni started raising goats in 1978 with angoras. Then, in the late 1980’s Coni imported 500 cashmere goat embryos from New Zealand, resulting in more than 250 live kids, and was one of the first to have success with embryo transfer in the United States. In 1995, Coni started her herd of Boer goats which eventually grew to more than 1200 head at its peak. Coni focused her breeding efforts to maintain functionality, longevity and mothering ability. She expected goats to thrive in a pasture setting, kid and raise offspring unassisted, all while remaining hardy, thrifty and structurally sound. Along with her dedication to her own herd and the many breed associations that she served; Coni also spent a great deal of her time helping other producers in the goat industry by providing what she called “Goat 911”. She spent countless hours on the phone helping other diagnose and treat goats across the United States. If you ever had the privilege to visit with Coni, you know that she always had her Bluetooth ear piece in and would happily share her more than 40 years of experience, knowledge, and treatment protocols with anyone that called. In 2015, Coni had a vision and sponsored a “5 & Older” class at the ABGA National Show for fullblood bucks and fullblood does to showcase animals that were 5 years and older but still productive and functional. The class has evolved over the years and has become an event to showcase and reward the breeders and animals who continue to maintain the traits that Coni spent her lifetime striving to produce.

DNA & Registration Clerk - Born in Texas, Catarina Hernandez thrived in agriculture through 4-H and FFA. Graduated ASU in Animal Science, now a full-time DNA and Registrations at ABGA. I was born in Monahans, Texas and moved to Sonora, Texas when I was three years old. My family raises white Dorpers and had a herd of Spanish-Boer goats. My father is an AgriLife Extension agent and has inspired me to continue my journey in the agriculture industry. I participated in 4-H for 10 years and the Sonora FFA chapter during my four years of high school. I was active in both clubs and participated in multiple competitions including the Range Science contests. Throughout my 10 years in 4-H, I showed market lambs and goats at the county and major livestock shows. Caring for and practicing with my livestock deepened my love for agriculture. I continued my education at Angelo State University (ASU) in August 2020, majoring in Animal Science with a minor in Business Administration. I participated in the ag department as the Vice President of the Delta Tau Alpha Agriculture Honor Society, a member and historian of Block & Bridle, a member of the Meat and Food Association, and Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers Association. During the summer of 2023, I was a member of the ASU Collegiate Meats Quiz Bowl team and competed at the AMSA RMC in ST. Paul, Minnesota. I was fortunate to intern at the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Association during the 2022 show season. I have also enjoyed going back home to Sonora, Texas to help with the county livestock show and range contests, as well as, taking care of our own livestock. I graduated from ASU in December of 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science with a minor in Business Administration. I am grateful for the opportunity to work as a full-time registrations clerk at ABGA.

Brooke Arce, a 16-year-old homeschooler and dual-enrolled student, is passionate about agriculture and raising Boer goats in Florida. Brooke Arce Hi! My name is Brooke Arce, and I'm 17 years old. I'm currently a Junior in high school and am homeschooled. In addition to being homeschooled, I'm also dual-enrolled at IRSC, where I can challenge myself academically and get a head start on my college education. Outside of school, I spend a lot of my time outdoors, and I have a deep passion for showing livestock, with Boer goats being my absolute favorite. I've been raising and showing Boer goats for 8 years, and I've been a member of JABGA for 6 of those years. Being a part of JABGA has given me the chance to connect with other young people who share the same interests and has helped me expand my knowledge in the livestock industry. It has also taught me countless life lessons that I carry with me every day. My mom and I run a small herd of Boer goats in Fellsmere, FL, where we carefully manage and care for our goats. Along with showing livestock, I also love spending time hunting and fishing with my family. I am incredibly passionate about agriculture, with the ultimate goal of becoming a large animal veterinarian. I'm excited to continue learning and growing, both in my academic studies and extracurricular activities. I am committed to expanding my knowledge and skills, not only in the livestock industry but specifically within the Boer goat industry.
