Wanting Boer Goats

Hi there, we have just moved to our lifestyle block in Tauranga and keen to source some Boer goats and have a property well fenced and suited to them. Would appreciate any help thanks.

Welcome Try posting this on the "our place" board as more people look there

I have 2 which sometimes drive me up the wall but Im auctually looking for a buck for them sorry & I wouldnt wish my ones on you lol I has bitten my backside & leg more than once... shes very sneaky lol ... she was actually quite good 2 days ago for a change when getting her feet trimmed & didnt look like biting... maybe shes realised im trying to help
the other was a little naughty but I dont blame her as the footrot spray proberbly stung like crazy.
Im not sure what other peoples ones are like but if I dont trim my ones feet/check their feet & between their claws every few weeks they end up with something... especially if the weather is bad... the one that is usually the biter got an abcess a little while ago which I treated but it caused one claw to grow funny/longer than the other & it looks like its going to take weeks of a little at a time trimming to fix it

Have a look at the Boer Goats website: www.nzbgba.co.nz . The best contact for the North Island is are Geoff Muggeridge in the Waikato. His contact details are on the website. In case anyone's interested in a South Island contact, it would be Owen Booth of Oamaru. I also have a Canterbury contact, if anyone's interested - please PM for the details.

Thanks for help. have been on NZBGBA website and have spoken to Geoff who was very helpful. I'm still looking to source Boers goats - they seem hard to find at this time of year it seems.

Ah -- sorry, I reposted the above info in your new thread on the Your Place forum. It would be a hard time of year, especially in the N Island, as I believe they will be near to kidding. Just keep trying is all I can recommend. Have you tried on TM at all? I know they come up down here somewhat regularly.
