The first Boer Goat Association was founded in South Africa in 1959, and it was not until 1993, that Boer Goats arrived in America. These goats have large and muscular bodies, short and glossy hair and a very dominant temperament. The coat on the head and ears is brown, and the horns are strong and round. Boers are healthy, and they possess a high resistance to infection, and are very fertile.
