Title: Boer goats Ireland
Post by: nihicib2 on August 21, 2011, 08:19:46 am

Hi all, just wondering if any of ye would know of a Boer goat for stud/for sale, I am looking for one to cross with my females in order to have goat meat in the future for ourselves.  I know they are hard to get here and probably quite expensive, we are in the North West of Ireland but I would take a look at anything thats on offer.

Thanks in advance

Brid

Could you do AI if you cannot find any for natural service (if there is any semen stored in Ireland)?
