The Origin of Boer Goat Generation

Boer goat is known as the "king of meat goats" in the world. it is a famous goat producing high-quality lean meat in the world. it has the characteristics of large size, fast growth, strong fecundity, many lambs, high slaughtering rate, high meat yield, rough feeding tolerance, strong adaptability, strong disease resistance and genetic stability. I have often heard of several generations of Boer goats. Let's take a look at the origin of Boer goats.

A generation of Boer goats

The first generation of Boer goats uses purebred Boer goats to mate with our domestic local goats. The lambs produced are called the hybrid generation of Boer goats, referred to as hybrid one, and their somatotype characteristics are obviously better than those of local goats. The rate of weight gain is significantly higher than that of the mother. In addition, its ears are not as upright as the matrix, but straight or slightly drooping.

Second generation Boer goat

The second generation Boer goat is a lamb produced by mating between the purebred Boer goat and the first generation Boer goat, which is referred to as Za'er. The body shape, weight gain rate and body importance of the second generation Boer goat are obviously better than those of the first generation Boer goat, and its head begins to show reddish features. but some of them do not appear this feature, the most important feature is obvious drooping of both ears and circular shape.

Three generations of Boer goats

The third generation Boer goat is a lamb produced by mating between the purebred Boer goat and the second generation Boer goat, which is referred to as the third generation of Boer goat. The appearance characteristic of the third generation Boer goat is close to that of the purebred goat. The ram can be reserved for breeding, with a red or black head, plump body, upright limbs, warped tail and smooth hair.

Four generations of Boer goats

The fourth-generation Boer goat is a lamb produced by mating between the purebred Boer goat and the third-generation Boer goat, referred to as the third-generation hybrid goat, which is obviously better than the third-generation Boer goat hybrid goat and is close to the purebred Boer goat.

Five generations of Boer goats and six generations of Boer goats were bred by analogy. First of all, remember that if you want to breed a good Boer goat, you must use a purebred ram, and you must not use the same purebred Boer goat to get close to or cross with a purebred ram. It can't be called improved crossbreeding, and you can never breed a good breed of sheep.
