Spring is right around the corner once
again. I hope this years’ kidding season is go-
ing well so far.
I would like to begin by thanking all who
attended the annual meeting in January. I
know the weather in the northern part of the
state wasn't favorable for some to attend. I
would like to welcome our newest members to
the board. Wade Anderson and Jodie Boen
were elected; as well as Deric Wetherell being
reelected. We also elected Bernard Ausmus
as Junior Board Member this year. I would al-
so like to thank Beth Walker from Aldrich,
MO for the informative talk she gave.
I want to remind everyone that we have
IMGP shows and educational events planned
for May, July, and September, as well as the
WIU buck test. We have made plans for guest
speakers at the Kewanee All Breeds Goat Sale
and the Arthur Sale Goat Sale, so be sure to
check the calendar for dates and locations of
these events. We will be needing volunteers to
make it all work. Please encourage your goat
friends and neighbors to attend.
As a board we get asked what does IMGP
do for its members? We have been talking,
brainstorming, and planning things so that we
have different events for ALL members. We
want to promote goats. We can only do so
much so fast. If you have any suggestions,
comments or advice please let one of the board
members know. We need your input through-
out the year, not just once at the annual meet-
ing. ~Chad Showalter

Goat owners typically purchase sack feeds,
protein concentrates, vitamin and/or mineral
supplements, and individual feed ingredients.
Some may also have their own feeds custom
processed/mixed. In any case, they need to be
able to read and interpret feed tags. The tags
found on commercial feeds are a legal require-
ment of State Regulatory Agencies. State regu-
lators belong to the American Association of
Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). This organi-
zation provides guidance to Feed Control Ser-
vice Administrators concerning identification
of feedstuffs, feed mixtures, minerals, vita-
mins, and feed additives including antibiotics.
AAFCO does not tell feed manufacturers what
they can or cannot put into mixed feeds nor
does it police the products offered to buyers.
Only Regulatory Service personnel can monitor
and test feeds in their laboratory and thereafter
notify manufacturers if their analyses does not
match the feed tag guarantees. In certain cir-

cumstances a feed company can be brought to task by Regulators and penalties
imposed. If a producer feels his purchased feed is not as shown on the tag, the
producer may request the state Regulatory Agency to run a check.
AAFCO approved tags typically carry the brand name, its company address
and numerically coded batch number as well as descriptive name (e.g., kid starter
or grower or milking ration) and form designation (meal, pellet, coarse ground,
etc.). If the feed contains any medication, the tag must identify the drugs and the
concentration either in grams of additive per ton or in mg. per lb. Also, the medi-
cated tag must carry a warning denoting withdrawal time in days prior to sale of
animals or product therefrom if warranted. Most, but not all, tags also provide
directions (how, when or quantity to feed per head per day).
The guaranteed analysis section of the tag typically reads: Crude protein not
less than X%. A statement such as, "this includes not more than X% equivalent
protein from non-protein nitrogen", must be added if all the protein is not from
"natural" ingredients, i.e., urea.
Crude fat not less than X%. Note: The minimum fat required in daily rations
for goats is not precisely known, but ranges of 1 to 5% seem adequate. Typical
concentrate formulations shown on feed tag range from 1 to 3%; forages usually
contain somewhat lesser amounts of fat.
The ingredients listing on the tag does not identify individual feedstuffs. In-
stead, it uses categories of feedstuffs, e.g., grains products (such as corn, oats, bar-
ley, wheat), processed grain by-products (bran, brewers grain, hominy), plant pro-
tein products (soybean meal, cottonseed meal, etc.), molasses products (cane or
beet molasses, dehydrated molasses, wood molasses), and forage products (alfalfa
meal or leaf meal). The phrase, roughage products, identifies the presence of cot-
tonseed hulls or other types of hulls or ground hays. This total must be shown as a
percentage of the feed. Their presence will cause the crude fiber guarantee to be
abnormally high (16-26% or more) and, as indicated above, lowers the digestible
energy content. The tag will also list sources of minerals, any preservatives used,
and any vitamin supplements present or used. ●

FOR ALL THE SKEPTICS
The Boer goat is a developed breed of goat, not an ex-
isting species; therefore, it is possible to have spotted and
dappled, full blood Boer goats.
NICHE MARKET ~ A FAD THAT'S HERE TO STAY
This niche market is not to be taken lightly. Don't think
it's as easy as breeding traditional, reds, or blacks. Breeders
soon find that saturating the market is going to be a diffi-
cult task.
I don't think anyone really knew how appealing or valu-
able these "Polka Dot" Boer goats were until the 2005 dis-
persal sale of T4 Ranch in Texas, when a 4 year old, 75%
dappled doe named POCKA DOT and her daughters sold
for figures that shocked the Boer goat industry and sparked
an interest in these unique animals.
Five years later at Fern Hollow
Farm's dispersal Sale in June of
2010, their spotted percentage and
purebred does were selling strong,
most commanding several thousand
dollars each. At that sale three un-
registered, commercial doe kids, 3
months old, brought $800 each,
more than many of the registered
full blood traditionals with top ge-
netics. These prices reflected the
industry's continued desire for qual-
ity Spotted and Dappled Boers. This
market is not a fad, as some have
said, but rather a legitimate market
for a highly desirable “Designer” Boer.
MAX Boer Goats has been breeding Boer goats since
1997 and Spotted and Dappled Boer goats since 2002
when the pairing of RED HOT $ with two different does
produced spotted offspring. Interest in where these colora-
tions came from developed into a breeding strategy that
has led to quality and consistency in coloration and pro-
duction. Having a fascination for these unusual colors and
patterns was only
the beginning,
learning about ge-
netics in relation to
color, combined
with developing
consistent color and
quality was the
challenge. Several
of our herd sires
throw 80-90% spots
and dapples, a real
accomplishment when most spotted animals are only
throwing 50% at best.
Producing spots and dapples consistently is a challenge
that takes several generations to accomplish. When pur-
chasing a spotted or dappled animal with the hope of repro-
ducing that desired coloration, one needs to examine the
pedigree closely. An animal that has one spotted or dap-
pled parent, whose pedigree includes one or two spotted
ancestors in 2 or 3 generations
is not going to give you con-
sistent results. The interest in
quality Reds, Paints, and Polka
Dot Boers continues to increase
with nearly every major breed-
er in the industry having at
least one "polka dot" in their
herd.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
BOER GOAT BREED
During the early 20th centu-
ry the Boer goat was being de-
veloped and improved in South
Africa; many breeds of goats
were used to develop the breed included goats indigenous
to Africa as well as European Dairy breeds. By mid-
century the breed was in full development and was just
beginning to look similar to the Boer goat we recognize
today. Following the practices of "selective breeding" and
culling, the Boer goat as we know it today was developed.
The Boer goats were selectively bred for many traits, in-
cluding to be red headed with white bodies, and in the pro-
T h e A r t o f B r e e d i n g S p o t s a n d D a p p l e s
Moon Spots: circular or semi-circular areas of
white or a lighter color on a dark background.
Tiger Dapples: are a more rare coloration and demonstrate a
brindle pattern of striping and ragged edges. These new-
borns have a Python patterned coat.
5 2012 Vol. 1 Illinois Meat Goat Producers
cess any animals with "color faults" (such as reds, paints
and dapples) were culled. This practice continues to this
day in South Africa.
*In 1931 Mr. W.G. Jordaan was improving his goat herd
in Somerset East, South Africa. He purchased a "very large
dapple-colored buck" from breeder, Mr. I.B. van Heerden
of Kaalplass, Cradock and bred that buck to his predomi-
nately red headed, white bodied does. From these animals
the earliest registered, breeding stock Boer goats were de-
veloped. In 1959 breeding, selection and documentation of
the Boer goats became regulated by the foundation of the
Boer Goat Breeders' Association of South Africa.
(*Reference: The Boer Goat -Outstanding Producer of Red
Meat from Low Quality Grazing by Quentin Peter Camp-
bell)
*The reds were also color culls, pulled from the traditional
herds
and
run
in
sepa-
rate
herds; and as late as 2004 the Kalahari Red breed registry
was established in South Africa.
"HOW DID YOU GET THAT?" ~ RESEARCH &
RECORD KEEPING
When breeding for spots or dapples you can either play
roulette or play it smart. Knowing what to buy, what to
breed to, what not to breed are all elements of a successful
spotted breeding program. When breeding for colors or
patterns you have to remember there are two different
genes.
The Recessive which is a heritable characteristic con-
trolled by a gene that is expressed in offspring only inherit-
ed from both parents. Dominant Genetics (of a heritable
characteristic) controlled by a gene that is expressed in
offspring inherited from only one parent.
First generation full blood spotted and dappled goats
are cropouts. A cropout is an animal with a sire and dam
who both appeared to have been non-spotted. There are
multiple genetic reasons that may cause a goat to be a
cropout, originating from recessive spotted lineage. Some-
times solid-colored goats throw cropout spots or dapples
because some spotting patterns are recessive genes that are
not necessarily expressed unless the relevant allele is in-
herited from both parents. Other times a gene may be a
dominant or incomplete dominant, but so minimally ex-
pressed that the goat looks solid but can pass flashy color
on to its offspring.
The spots and dapples in the Boer goat are genetic
throwbacks. First generation spots or dapples are a rare
phenomenon, an unexpected occurrence. These animals
will produce some spots; however, they will not produce
the quantity of spots or dappling that an animal genera-
tions deep in spots or dapples will produce. It is with these
first and second- generation animals that a base must be
built in order to acquire spots or dapples on a more regular
basis. From experience we have found there are several
bloodlines with a "common thread" that will work when
developing the spotted genetics.
A goal that we have recognized has been to breed spots
and dapples that are generations deep in spotted genetics,
this in turn increases the likelihood for consistency in pro-
ducing spots and dapples - not just a few here and there as
happens with first, second generation animals. To achieve
optimal results knowledge of what to breed is an ad-
vantage that is learned through years of breeding, research,
and record keeping. ●
Dapples: irregular patterning and melding of colors with no distinct edges (often tan and/or white on a dark background).
