| New to Boer Goats: What are Boer goats? Boer goats are large framed animals resembling in many ways the Nubian goat. The most striking difference between a Boer goat and any other type of goat you may have seen, is the size. The Boer goats were originally developed to clear land that was too difficult to be cleared by humans. A Boer is a large, double muscled animal developed in Southern Africa specifically for meat and hardiness. They can consistently produce more muscling in less time than any other breed of goat and will pass this capability to their kids. Boers are vibrantly colored and relatively uniform throughout. They are fun to raise, love to hike, can even swim, have mild temperaments, are affectionate, require no milking, and no shearing. They also have huge rumen capacity. They spend a lot more time grazing than other types of goats do. One reason for this is that they are out grazing in the heat of the day when dairy goats are wilting in the shade. They are also out grazing when the snow is blowing across the pasture. |
