The Red Boer goat is a cross between the Boer goat and the Kalahari red goat. It is a good, strong meat breed and is quite hardy due to the crossing of the breeds.
Red Boers can be red coloured, like the Kalahari red, or can have a black or brown head and a white body, a bit like the Boer.
Red Boers are calm and can be excellent mothers or pets. They are docile, hardy, and their meat is good. They make excellent pets and are easy to tame.
These goats produce excellent quality meat and are great entertainment for young children.
Red Boers should have a slight arch on their nose, have good, strong back legs and have characteristics of both the Kalahari Reds and Boers. They can have large, floppy ears or slightly smaller ears, depending on their parents/ancestors etc. They should have hardly any problems with kidding and bonding with their kids. Red Boers hardly get sick and can live into double figures if looked after properly.
