What is a Boer Goat?
A Boer goat is a breed of goat that was originally from South Africa. They typically have a reddish-brown head and a white body. Males (called bucks, not billies) are typically around 200-400 pounds and females (called does, not nannies) are usually around 150-300 pounds. They are considered a ‘meat goat’ although they have more recently become big on the show circuit and there are many shows that are just for Boers.
