Out of nowhere …Lilly the Boer arrived in the neighborhood from parts unknown. She just appeared in the neighborhood, and we could never find out where she came from. She had that tag in her ear, even that was a dead end. Unbenownst to us at the time, she was pregnant.The Boer goat is a breed of goat indigenous to South Africa. The largest goat breed in the world, they can exceed 300 pounds. They are often raised for meat due to their hardiness, size, excellent carcass quality, and high reproductive rate. In fact, many experts regard these goats as the best meat goats in the world. You can now find them around the world thanks to their popularity as meat goats, show goats, and in vegetation management. Well this is great, so we end up with three of them ! We have no plans on eating them for supper. |
