Web site introductions run from warm and fuzzy to cold and callus. We trust that you will find this site somewhere in-between. We find it helpful to have some insight to the personality of the principals involved. So, as you browse, you may notice a large fellow in bib overalls---your host, Curtis J. Ring.
It all began quite innocent enough with a young farm couple living at the foot of Pilot Mountain in Surry County, North Carolina . On July 14, 1931 Owen and Ruby Ring became the proud parents of a 13 pound bouncing baby boy. They named him Curtis and he became the oldest of 12 children.
Fast Forward: Curtis met his bride of 50 plus years, Blanche, in Gibsonville, N.C. and they are now the proud parents of two daughters, Debbie and Pam. Debbie, her husband Jim Lillegard, and their four children make their home near Allentown, PA. Pam is a young thing and still resides with mom and dad.
Step Back: During the Korean War Curtis received an invitation from Uncle Sam. Not wanting to be a foot soldier, he joined the Air Force on November 20, 1951 . After traveling to the four corners of the world and twenty-seven years, one month and eleven days later he returned to civilian life. He immediately became a politico for Credit Unions as Vice-president for Governmental and Public Affairs for the North Carolina Credit Union League. Over the next 18 years he spent a great deal of time in the State Capitol and Washington D.C.
Curtis and Blanche selected their initial retirement residence in McLeansville , N.C. Having grown up on a farm, Curtis has a natural attraction to the wide open spaces. So, when he had an opportunity to purchase 14.5 acres near Gibsonville , N.C. in 1979, he jumped at the chance. He christened this virgin wooded property Ringwood Acres and immediately began carving out a habitable home site and building a small lake. In 1993 they built their retirement home on Ringwood Acres and thoroughly enjoy living in the secluded environment.
Blanche has long had a secret affection for goats and Curtis often said to his office staff, when preparing to go mow that he had to go let the goats out. To further spur an interest, the community farmers would often say to Curtis "why not fence in the property and get some goats---it would reduce the amount of mowing and clear underbrush". So, an investigation into goats began and the BOER GOAT was discovered!
Ringwood Acres became home to its first 100% Full Blood Boer Goats (8 PG does) in December of 2001 and our Great Pyrenees joined us a few months later. We strive to improve the traditional Boer goat breed one generation at a time and offer Boer Goats for Sale in North Carolina. Our motto "quality over quantity---perpetuate the best and cull the rest". In retirement we often say "every day is a holiday and each meal is a banquet". With Boer Goats we say that "each trip to the barn is a venture into the unknown and each new kid is truly a gift from God". Oh, how sweet it is to have the privilege to be a part of such an exciting event! The Boer Goat is truly an exceptional animal that tugs at your heartstrings. |
