Boer Goat Congress is a really cool way to have your stock evaluated and compared to other breeders Boer goats. If you’re there for the ABGA & JABGA shows, give this evaluation a try on May 31st, at 1pm.
Goat may be groomed to the desire of the breeder. No added products, goats should be shown as natural as possible.
This is all about the Boer goat. Breeds are divided by colour coat. In South Africa, the phenotype selection includes the colour of the coat. It is easier to compare stock when they all basically look similar. Your evaluated stock does not have to be registered.
Then divided by sex and age. Milk tooth goats are all weighed and in 10 pound groups.

- Boer Goat: Traditional Red Headed, white bodied meaty goat.
