Here is a little background information about Boer goats. The Boer goat was developed in South Africa
in the early 1900's for meat production. The Boer goats have a fast growth rate and excellent carcass
qualities, making it one of the most popular breeds of meat goats in the world.
Boer goats have a high resistance to disease and adapt well to hot, semi-deserts. U.S. production is
centered in west-central Texas, particularly in and around San Angelo. The original U.S. breeding
stock came from herds located in New Zealand. Only later were they imported directly from South
Africa.
Boer goats commonly have white bodies and distinctive reddish brown heads. Like the Nubian goats,
they posses long, pendulous ears. They are noted for being docile, fast growing, and having high
fertilities rates. Does are reported to have superior mothering skills as compared to other goats.
Mature Boer bucks weigh between 240-300 lbs and mature does between 200 and 220 lbs.
