Even though they originated in South Africa, Boer goats are very adaptable and grow a nice thick goat to help them cope with the cold weather.
The key to a successful Boer goat herd is to select quality breeding stock, ensure that you have suitable housing and fencing and providing balance nutrition.
They require a diet of high in fiber, with a balanced mix of good quality grassy hay, and supplemental grains and minerals. They require lots of fresh, clean water. They make good groundskeepers and they will often pass up on lush green grass to eat brush along fences.
Boer goats are known for their rapid growth rate, muscular build and high-quality meat. Their meat has a mild flavour and they have a higher dressing percentage than many other goat breeds.
Healthy goats with a solid build, strong legs and a symmetrical body. They should have good lineage and proper muscling.
