R650.00

In this course we will discuss the conformation, visual characteristics and other physiological aspects of the Boer Goat and why these all play a role in determining the functional efficiency of these animals. It may seem that these visual characteristics might have been arbitrarily set, yet each of these has an important role to play in the functional efficiency, adaptability, hardiness and ultimately, the profitability of the Boer Goat for the farmer.
