Wondering if anyone has any good tips for taming goats to let us touch them consistently. We just bought two Boer goats that are 5 months old and apparently they were never handled much. We've had them home since Sunday this week. The little boy comes to us any time he sees us but still doesn't...

Not sure where to post this. I was wondering how big Boer goats should be at 5 - 6 months?

Yes, but he's not red like this. He's a light tan color. I'll try to post a pic of him tomorrow. Is this a Boer cross?

We always let ours chill for 24 hours before we freeze them but then we haven't done very many yet or tried another way. That's how we've always processed chickens so we just did the same for our rabbits. When we cook them, we either soak in buttermilk and then fry them or we cook them low and...

So we bought two goats ... supposedly a brother and sister Boer goats. The female is perfectly colored for the Boer's but the boy is not. I've been researching pics and nothing I've come across for Boer goats even faintly resembles him so we're guessing maybe he's a cross of some kind. He's a...

Thanks for the welcomes and reassurance. They were eating out of my hand this morning even though it was raining, so I was happy about that. The little boy, Vincent, eats everything and then some. The little girl, Artemisia eats nothing but pellets and straw it seems. She did nibble on an apple...

We've been walking down the slippery slope towards large animal livestock ownership for three years now and finally plunged in head first with two 5 month old Boer goats. We already have chickens, turkeys, ducks, and rabbits ... Yeah, yeah, I know ... gateway livestock and all ... :rolleyes...

Hi all. Just thought I'd stop by and introduce us. We live in Oklahoma and have been members of Backyard Chickens for a couple of years. We have a dozen chickens, 15 turkeys, 6 ducks, 9 rabbits, and (our reason for being here) two Boer goats that just came home today! We've been looking at...
