Boer
Goats Although we have only had boer goats for a few years, we are very pleased with the easy going temperament of these goats, plus their ability to fatten quickly on feed. We have a variety of bloodlines including Nico Botha, Pip Nieuwoudt, plus granddaughters and great granddaughters of Vlek. |

We have been lucky enough to have use of Highland T58 ("Noster") in our boer goat herd in the 2006. Noster is still strong and sound at 7½ years of age. An embyo imported from South African, "Noster" was breed by CJ Du Toit. His father was the famous South African sire Noster. His maternal grand sire was the equally well known South African sire Popeye. We are looking forward
to Noster's kids on the ground, as we were very taken
with the meatiness of his kids in the last stud he was
used at.

"Elijah". Buckling sired by Jolleen Rocky 2 out of Macquarie Elysa |
We are particularly looking forward to Noster's kids from our fullblood daughters sired by Elijah. Elijah was the sire used in our herd in the 2005 season, and we are very happy with his kids. They are very solid and meaty. There are some photos of Elijahs kids on the Boer Goat Sale page. |

She has been mated to Noster, and is due to kid in late spring. There may be some spare Noster doe kids available, depending on how our kidding goes this season.
