The best quality goats are those who have been developed for meat breed characteristics standards. There are only three breeds that meet the standard and those would be Boers, Kikos and Tennessee fainting goats. While Spanish and Nubians are used for meat production, they do not have a meat breed characteristic standard and not yet considered to be comparable to the other three...Boers are massive framed, heavily muscled animals that weigh an average of 200-300 lbs. and are the preferred stock for meat production. These animals develop quickly and are known for their hardiness to thrive in harsher climates and a variety of living conditions. The Tennessee fainting goat is much smaller in comparison weighing an average of 150-165 lbs.. This breed is moderately priced in comparison to the Boers, but they can be crossbred with Boers to develop a high quality meat product.
