Boer Goats are raised for
their high quality meat, but they are
also very popular as show animals.

Boer Goats come from South
Africa and can adapt to many
climates, but need shelter. They breed
easily with a 5 month gestation period
and twins are the norm.
They are browsers and will
utilize a variety of pastures. Meat kids
are ready for market in four months.
Goat meat also called Chevron
(French), Cabrito (Spanish for "young
kid") or Capretto (Italian). It is a
desirable meat for diverse ethnic
groups and health conscience
consumers because of its low fat
content.
Boer Goats are easy to handle
and care for. They are curious
without being obnoxious or destructive.
