Check with your local feed stores, sometimes they have free handouts for different animals.

Try going to the websites of the Boer goat Assoc. and the Kiko goat Assoc. They have that info there.

What area are you in? Go to groups.yahoo.com and put Boer goat in the search engine, join some groups and talk with the folks doing it. Goat and Sheep Rancher is a good one. Ask about their bottom line. vicki

Go to goat meat production discussion group at yahoo. They are right now in a discussion about weight gains and the effects of different amounts of copper and salt on weight gain!

try langston university (they have a web, but i don't know it.) also try your county extension office-they may have some info, or names of people in the area.
