Goats
This breed of goat that was developed in South Africa for meat production. Their name is derived from the Afrikaans word Boer, meaning farmer. They are a popular breed for meat. For commercial meat production, medium sized does are normally preferred, as they produce the same number of kids, but require less feed to do so. As a general rule, the more kids born per doe, the greater profit margins for the owner.They can breed throughout the year and they reach sexual maturity at 5 months.
