Offer Description

The Kalahari Red Goat is a robust, adaptable meat breed developed in South Africa for semi-arid conditions. Known for their deep red coats, heat tolerance, and disease resistance, these goats thrive in hot climates with minimal care, making them ideal for organic and low-maintenance farming.
Does are excellent mothers, breeding year-round and frequently kidding, while bucks are muscular and well-suited for meat production. Kalahari Reds are also valued for crossbreeding programs, improving hardiness, growth rate, and carcass quality in other local breeds.
