A boer goat will eat up to 4% of it's body weight each day. For a goat that weighs 100 lbs that would eat up to 4 lbs each day. But your question is need to eat. That depends on what the goat is eating. If the nutrient levels of the food the goat is eating are high enough they can survive on less than 4% per day. If the nutrient levels are low then they could also suffer on 4%. The nutrient level required depends on what you are trying to accomplish with the goat. If it is a mature goat that is not lactating (nursing babies) then the nutrient requirements are lower than for a goat that is lactating. Also, goat kids that you are trying to grow will need higher nutrition than older goats. You should visit with your local extension service to get more details.

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.

Genemasters are the hybrid offspring of a fullblood Boer and a purebred Kiko.

Registration as a Genemaster is the first step in a hybridization program the ultimate aim of which is registration as a Texas Genemaster, a genetically stable three eighths Kiko, five eighths Boer hybrid.
