Herd of Boer Goats, Upstate New York
The Boer goat is a breed of goat developed in South Africa in the early 1900s for meat production. Their name is derived from the Dutch word "boer", meaning farmer. While purebred bucks are usually preferred for breeding purposes, it is common to use crossbred does for kid production, with the resulting offspring being 7/8 or more Boer. Boers are bread and raised for meat rather than milk production.
