The Boer goat is a goat developed in South Africa in the early 1900s for meat production. Their name is derived from the Dutch word "Boer" meaning farmer.

They were selected for meat rather than milk production; due to selective breeding and improvement, the Boer goat has a fast growth rate and excellent carcass qualities, making it one of the most popular breeds of meat goat in the world.
