Boer Goats

Convenor: John Binney

Welcome to the spirited tradition of Boer Goat competitions which has woven itself into the very fabric of our agricultural celebrations since the beginning. From the early days, these robust goats have trotted onto our stage, becoming an integral part of the showcase.

Our judges evaluate the Boer Goats, assessing the impeccable breed standards of does and bucks across various ages, seeking excellence through areas such as size, hardiness, and docility. It is a celebration of beauty and resilience that defines this remarkable breed. As we proudly host these competitions, we honour the Boer Goat, the largest goat breed globally, known by its scientific name, Capra hircus.

Join us in this in the creation of history, tradition, and the lively spirit of competition converge to celebrate the enduring charm of the Boer Goat.
