Registered SA Boer Goats
The Boer Goat is an improved indigenous breed with some infusion of European, Angora and Indian goat breeding. They are primarily a meat goat with several adaptations to the region in which it was developed. Boers are a horned breed with lop ears which are produced in a variety of color patterns. Present day Boer Goats have adapted very well to a variety of ecosystems in their native South Africa, ranging from hot, dry semi-desert to humid, tropical bush.
The Boer goat is a large framed animal with mature weights between 260-380 lbs. for males and 210-265 lbs. for females. The Boers average daily weight gain potential on pasture or rangeland is outstanding and offers great growth rate improvement possibilities through selective breeding and effective herd management principles.
The Boer goat reaches puberty early, typically within 6 months of age for males and 10-12 months for first-mating females. Boers are good milkers and protective mothers, which enables them to successfully raise their multiple offspring with excellent weight gains and little pre-weaning mortality.
