such a thing as black headed "boer"??

The temperment is great. The Crosses also seem to inherit the quieter, softer voices of the LaMancha which is terrific too. My Boers are much more vocal than my "LaBoers". I have to experiment with them a few more years before i can draw serious conclusions, but this is what I have found to be true so far.

I am milking a 1/2 Lamancha 1/4 Nubian 1/4 Boer right now that is about 3 months fresh, just weaned her triplets two days ago and have got exactly 7 pounds of milk the last two days with twice a day milkings. The milk is VERY creamy and rich. I will be milking her daughter, who is 5/8 Boer next spring. My LaManchas do milk much heavier, but I like the Boer blood in some of my goats as they are easy keepers, are very tough and seem extremely worm resistant.

I have four black headed boer crosses..and an old weather that is black headed. All five are from the same mom and two different boer bucks.

I bred the two older does and with some luck they should kid at the end of summer. IF they throw black..I am going to sell my black and white "herd" of girls.

Around here..they can bring twice the price of regular boer colors. Its just the fad here for now .. I guess. They like something "different" in the show ring. In five years..who knows? LOL..

I have a paint..loud black and white..and I think..on her...it really brings out her build. If I was a showing person...she would have been in the ring this year.
