The breeding for today’s American Boer Goat began in the early twentieth century in South Africa with a group of ranchers who made it their goal to breed the world’s best goat. In 1993 the first Boers were brought to America. Today there are approximately 80,000 purebred and percentage Boer goats in the U.S. The American Boer goat is one of the hardiest of all livestock breeds. Bred for dominance, it has a high resistance to disease, adapts well to various climates and terrains and has outstanding size and growth rate. The Boer goat reaches puberty early and with proper care is able to kid every eight months. It also has a high percentage of multiple births and maintains economic production for ten years or longer. Boer goats have stimulated unprecedented interest in the goat industry. |
