Boer goats are the largest of the goat breeds. Boer goats were originally produced by Afrikaner farmers  In 1959, who crossed various European and Indian breeds with breeds raised by Bantu and Khoekhoe people. these Boer goats are generally white colored with brown heads. They have two long pendulous ears falling on the sides. Boer goats eat leaves of trees, green grasses, corn, and some other supplementary feeds. They need a lot of water to drink to maintain their healthy diet.

This breed was developed and improved in the Republic of South Africa. Boer was selected for meat rather than milk production. The Boer breed is characterized by a red head and red on the least portion of the neck, with a white body. Boer goats are noted for being docile, fast-growing, and having high fertility rates. It is one of the most popular breeds of meat goat in the world. Boer goat is also called by the names Africander, Afrikaner, and South African common goat.
