Boer goats came into New Zealand in around 1987. Given that feral goats thrive then its not surprising that Boer meat goats do well also. Almost unlimited green grass, adequate quantities of browse all contribute to healthy and fast growing kids. Like many countries New Zealand breeders started off with very good bloodlines and have continually enhanced these. New Zealand's Boer goat breeders have been facing some difficult issues. There is a very small local market for goat meat and the industry is too small for a major export biased industry. As a result there is a limited number of breeders due to poor enterprise economics. There are also limited abattoirs able to do small kill runs which also impacts local supply. As a result the commercial returns are borderline. The majority of the approximate 120,000 goats slaughtered every year are feral goats harvested off the hills. Only about 5% have Boer genetics which doesn’t help things. Coupled with a market that is not discerning, unlike Australia with a much larger population with ethnic backgrounds that prefer goat, there is not in New Zealand. So at the moment Boer goat breeders are export breeding stock orientated by necessity and they are able to leverage their favourable low disease status. As more varied genetics is imported into the country and herds improve, so will quality. There are moves, albeit slow, to upgrade the feral herds with quality bucks, just as some are doing in Australia. Of course in Australia they quaintly renamed then Rangeland goats to try and overcome the feral or wild stigma some consumers had. Where to buy premium goat meat in New Zealand.
