Back to All Ambassadors 2023 Randy & Cindy Dusek Lazy S-T Ranch has been a family ranch for over a 100 year. In 1995, we decided to buy goats due to Boer influence on the goat meat market. We started with just a commercial herd of the biggest Spanish does that we could find, and percentage bucks. We needed goats that could cover a lot of ground. The goats needed to have great mothering abilities, cover hundreds of acres, and handle the elements. We gathered goats by horse and four-wheel drive vehicles. When we decided to start a registered herd, we only had a shoestring budget. We could only afford to buy colored goats. Most of the full blood breeders didn’t want the colored goats, or non-traditional as they were known as at this time. In 2003 we attended our first ABGA National Show. Everyone told us not to take those red goats because those South African judges wouldn’t use them. We were very blessed and walked away with the Reserve National pair of Percentage Junior Does, and the Reserve National Percentage Produce of Dam. We have focused on producing quality-colored goats including Red Racer (Ennobled, & 2006 ABGA National Reserve Champion Buck), Red Ryder (Ennobled), Outback Jack (Ennobled), RipChord (Ennobled), Rip Torn (Ennobled), Bon Joli/Lazy S-T Crackerjack (Ennobled), Bon Joli/Lazy S-T Sir Spotsalot (Ennobled), Bon Joli/Lazy S-T Copperhead, and Lazy S-T Coppertox. We have three bucks in the top 100 by progeny points since the beginning of 2023. We have been married for 25 years and have been blessed with three kids, a wonderful daughter-in-law and five grandsons. We couldn’t have done this without our family, friends, and customers. It is such an honor to receive the Ambassador of the Bred Award. We would like to thank everyone that nominated us. The goat industry is a great family. Randy & Cindy Dusek
