Ranch & Rural Living - Matt Belcher (908 words)
DORA, NEW MEXICO -- The farm country of eastern New Mexico is not exactly a place you expect to drive up on a Boer goat operation, but that's exactly what will happen driving into Portales, New Mexico, from the south, near Dora.
Although she graduated from Eastern New Mexico University with a degree in education (in 1994), Elizabeth Belcher would much rather be out tending to her goats and helping husband Matt tend to the irrigated farm and the cattle than teaching.
Dora is about 10 miles from the West Texas state line and is just south of Portales, New Mexico.
