The South African Boergoat Breeders Association has set new registration requirements that all Boergoat breeders must adhere to by 2025. These breeders must be registered with the association, a Boerbok Club, and the SA Studbook to participate in auctions or shows. From 2025, only complete stud animals will be allowed at auctions or shows. A two-year phase-in period has been implemented to allow breeders to adjust. A new tagging system for Boer goats will also be implemented from 1 March 2023. All selected animals, both herd and stud, will receive ear tags that will be kept by the selectors. The tags cannot be tampered with, ensuring greater peace of mind for buyers.
