Product Overview

Description

The Boer goat is a large-framed, red-headed animal with a white body and short, smooth, glossy hair. The ideal is an average-sized, heavy goat for maximum meat production. A desirable ratio between length of leg and depth of body should be achieved at all ages.

The goat has a fine head, lob ears, round, backward-curving horns, and a loose, supple skin with folds, especially in rams. The ewe must be feminine, and wedging slightly to the
front (a sign of fertility). The ram should be heavier in the head, neck and forequarters, and must be masculine.

A variety of colour patterns occurs, but the ideal is a white goat with a red head and ears, a white blaze and strongly pigmented skin. Shading between light and dark red is permissible.
