I loved the way this goat looked and waited until it finally turned around to look in my direction! :) Its horns look really cool, swept back behind that pretty head.

The Boer goat is raised primarily for its meat and was developed in South Africa in the early 1900's. The name, "Boer" is Dutch for "farmer". These goats are hardy and grow fast. They were first introduced to the United States in 1993 and has become extremely popular since then.

If you would like to know more about these goats, Wiki has a very nice page here: Wiki: Boer Goats
You might also like to visit the American Boer Goat Association or the International Boer Goat Association, both of which are packed with information and pictures! :)
