Originating in South Africa, the Boer is said to be the
best tasting meat goat breed, and is often called the Angus of the goat world. It is double-muscled, which is why it
is so wonderful for meat production. Boer goat's horns do not grow straight up like dairy goats, instead, they curl
down and back next to the head and neck.
The traditional Boer goat has a reddish-brown
head, with a white body. Some Boers, however, are called paints, meaning that they have color markings on their
body, where they would normally be white. Boer goats can have black markings, and may also be solid brown or black.
Goat meat, chevon has 40% less saturated fat than skinless chicken, and the same amount
of protein as beef when cooked the same way. 60% of the world's population eats goat meat, making it the world's
most widely eaten meat.
