Fullblood Boer Goat Stud | Boer Goat Farming
Boer Goat Australia is using the breed standards of the South African Boer Goat Breeders Association with descriptive changes applicable to Australian bred goats, appropriate guidelines are set down to encourage the breeding of a more suitable Boer Goat with increased economic value to our Australian Commercial and Stud producers alike.
We will continue to value productive traits such as conformation, good structure and mobility over aesthetic traits.
In applying the following standards there are many aspects which cannot be completely defined, in such cases a judge must use his or her discretion. The major part of the body must be white, a pigmented skin on the hairless parts i.e. under the tail, round the eyelids and mouth etc. is absolutely essential because it offers resistance to sunburn which may result in skin cancer. A pigmented skin is also more resistant to other skin diseases and a loose supple skin is for adaptability to climatic conditions
