Boer+Goats

**Boer Goats**
Boer is derived from the Dutch word meaning farmer. These goats have been bred in South Africa for many years. Their ancestory probably is a mixture of native African goats mixed with Indian and Europeon goat bloodlines. These goats are one of the most popular breeds of meat goat in the world. Both the males and females have horns. Adult males weigh between 240 and 300 pounds and adult females weigh between 200 and 225 pounds, making them very large, robust goats. Generally two young, called kids, are born and they grow to maturity faster than any other speceis of goat.
