Ears on a cross-bred doe - to right Beauty 75%

To right, Butterscotch was Boer/Saanen Cross loved her ears her twins for me had normal ears, just shorter in length

All kids below out of a commercial buck had really long ears that year. Top left "Banana Nana, Mitzie, Gus Gus, and Lucie"

Rogue Valley Dani, right, shows off her beautiful white frosted ear tips, 100% Boer

Next to her, 88% Lulu

Lazee Boy had one folded ear tip and one regular ear

Ear Injuries:

First: Peanut never found out what she did to that ear

2nd: Red doeling, Gamble came to us with bitten ear tips

3rd: Kali was an annoying bottle baby that never learned, got her ear tip bit off and lives with one ear longer than the other.

4th: Maia got both ear tips bitten off at some point - I never found out who was doing the biting but it hasn't happened since that year, so I must have sold the culprit!!

Boer Goat Heads:

Breeders are looking for the "egg shaped" roundness - Meadow below is registered 50% might be more like 75% but got a very nice head from her daddy (Auto) and Dam Pancake who was mostly nubian with Boer Cross

One thing Auto did for our herd was stamp his kids with Boer Goat Correctness! Nice heads, bone, legs, etc.

Even at the newborn age you can see the 3 kids below have the roman nose!

Doeling below got mama's flatter nubian face, and her brother below got a more rounded head like daddy Benediction - still not "roman" or ennobled as they say, but the goal is to be "better than mama" and that he was!

Eclipse hasn't had many kids for us, but the ones he has had have had gorgeous heads and the doelings of his we've retained like "In Jest" below have a beautiful face and head with breed character.

Duchess (bottom) and Lunar (far right) fullblood doelings have found a home at other farms, nice heads!

HORNS:

First thing that comes to mind when you think of horns is the big Boer Bucks! Rightfully so, these big boys can really grow the horns!

As a goat breeder, I like horns like Jack's (left) that do not rest on his neck. His flare out a bit and can keep other goats feet from getting stuck during a fight.

"Tommy" right, also has horns that flare out very far and are way up off his head. While they may be more dangerous to work around, since he could "accidently" hook you, they are definitely  better for him so his horns don't rub his neck and he can't get his head stuck in any fence!!!

Both of these awesome boys stand at BRC Boers in Appleton, Wa
