  • I love Boers. I have 9 100% to 95% and a 75% nanny. They are the best meat goat breed we ever had. :3

  • @taylormart1 if he is not willing to walk you can either pull his tale or have a friend walk behind u while walking also keep in mind as u r walking him to have his neck and head up high that is a big key for a showgoat(:

  • Pretty Boer. I have a Boer cross, not sure what she's mixed with, but she isn't as stout as a Boer, from what i've seen of the breed!

  • How do you keep the goats from ingesting plants that are considered toxic to them? Or do you just count on them naturally avoiding those plants? Also, wondering, will goats eat down trees such as fur, spruce and other evergreens? Thank you for sharing! Fred

  • does anyone know how to train a boer goat?when i pull him on his leash he just lies down

  • @yankeegurl62 Boer goats are bred for their meat. If the goat is not bred for milking then it's a no-go. BTW goat milk is very similar to human mother's milk.

  • @Numba1Mileyfan no. its how goats play

  • yall shut up! some people want to no this stuff ok! so shut up!

  • @ldire You dumb illiterate redneck.

  • I have a REALLY DUMB question, I live here in Florida...and there are LOTS of Boer and Boer crosses around where I live..My grandson is allergic to cow's milk..could I use a boer nanny for milking? Granted, she wasn't bred for milking...but any thoughts?
