Goat Facts

Goat Market Facts
Our careful research has shown us that boer goats are a viable breed with expanding markets. There are significant domestic and export markets for boer goats, both live for breeding and as meat, which are not being met.

The local domestic market is far from satisfied by current production levels and will take much more high quality meat than is currently available.

Australia is the largest exporter of goat meat in the world with 93% of the meat going to the US, their main market being first generation migrants and they will take more.

Goat meat is the most eaten meat in the world with no religious or cultural taboos.
