South Africa is the acknowledged cradle of Boer Goats throughout the world

The hardy and productive South African Boer Goat, developed here at the tip of Africa through rigorous selective breeding practices over more than 70 years, is the yardstick against which all other meat-producing goats worldwide are measured. Today, the Boer Goat is found in almost every country across the world. It is here in South Africa where the very best genetics in the world are produced and where breed standards are determined.
This ground-breaking website concentrates all information about this hardy goat breed into one dynamic, content-rich and easily navigable location. All the knowledge, experience, management aids, training and more is available right here.
Commercial farmers in South Africa are the pioneers who originally developed — and continue to improve — this fertile and adaptable meat goat breed which has created such a revolution across the globe. The information on this site is gleaned from their substantial practical experience.
