Jolleen Boer Goats

Fullblood red boer 6 tooth (3 year old) doe.

The goats are run under paddock conditions, they are supplemented with hay or grain during the cooler months.

The male goat is called 'buck' and female goat 'doe'. The Boer goat is primarily a meat goat with several adaptations to the region in which it was developed. It is a horned breed with lop ears and showing a variety of color patterns. The Boer goat is being used very effectively in South Africa in combination with cattle due to its browsing ability and limited impact on the grass cover. Producing weaning rates in excess of 160% the Boer goat doe is a low maintenance animal that has sufficient milk to rear a kid that is early maturing. The mature Boer Goat buck weighs between 110-135 kg (~240-300 lbs) and does between 90 and 100 kg (~200-225 lbs).

Goats are run under paddock conditions, which range from improved pasture to lightly timbered areas. 6 weeks before the show season begins in our local area, a small number of does and bucks are selected from the paddock, brought into a smaller paddock coated taught to lead. Supplemented with grain and good quality hay.
