Meet The Dugats
The Dugat Family has raised boer goats for more than three generations. Dugat Livestock began as Dugat Ranch in 1998 in Portland, Texas when Bobby Dugat purchased a show wether and a companion doe kid for his son Brandon. After purchasing the first two goats the Dugats were hooked. From there The Dugat Ranch steadily grew and reached its peak at nearly 250 breeding does in 2002. Over the years the ranch produced many county and local champions, as well as, the first National Grand Champion Wether at the State Fair of Texas in 2001.
Since 2001 the reigns of Dugat Ranch has been passed to Bobby Dugat’s sons Brandon and Brent. Brandon and his wife Alyssa, along with Brent and his wife Danielle have transformed Dugat Ranch in to what is now known as Dugat Livestock.

After raising three market hogs and six market steers; Alyssa decided it was time to tackle a new project and purchased her first three show goats. Alyssa continued to raise show goats through the end of FFA show career, with her highlight being her Champion Lightweight Market Goat at the 2003 Brazoria County Fair.

Both Dugat families work closely to better their individual herds and ultimately improve Dugat Livestock; and produce your next champion!
