The optimal time to breed a Boer doe is when they reach 90 pounds or 9 months, whichever comes first.
You can breed them later if you feel they are too small, but it may lead to birthing difficulties later on. (Although I've never had a problem with this so far.)
Boer bucks can be sexually mature as early as 3 months, so make sure they are separated from females to prevent accidental breeding.

The amount that an individual goat will sell for depends on the animal's age, bloodlines, whether or not it is a registered animal and other similar variables. I have had people give me goats for free. And while I have never bought a "five figure goat" personally, I have seen them. The sales catalogues and goat magazines show some of the records of these high end sales figures for excellent breeding stock. Local (farm animal livestock) auctions frequently publish their weekly sales figures in the agricultural journals and papers.

What breed of goat is best for showing?
Any breed can be great for showing. I show boers and boer crosses because they are relatively cheap, but you can make money off of them and they have awesome personalities if they are used to being around people. My advice to you is to research various breeds depending on what area of the goat industry you are interested in whether it is meat, dairy, or fur. In addition, you could check on the American Boer Goat Association, International Boer Goat Association, American Dairy Goat Association, or other breed sites to see which kinds of goats have more shows in your area because your area may not have some for particular breeds. For example, there are at least 2 boer and dairy shows within an hour of me, but no pygmy.
