SA Boergoat

The T Show is slowly but surely becoming a very important show for goats in South Africa’s northern provinces. The Boer goat was developed from the original African goat by early settlers who began to crossbreed them with imported Indian goats in 1661. Further upgrading in the following 300 years produced a much larger animal. The meat is coarse grained but soft and palatable. In some areas the Boer goat is an important milk producer.
