Yesterday I listened to the story below. By chance your story came up today.

From a theological perspective: The Bible states in Matthew 25:31-33 : "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left." Anyone who has farming experience with goats understands this figure of speech perfectly.

Re: Which one of you lost a Boer goat ?
Around the northern regions we have mainly 2 goat breeds, the boerbok and the other type. The "other" could be loosely described as BEE-accredited goats or something similarly politically correct. The main difference between the 2 breeds is that the former is somewhat picky about it's diet and is easily stolen. The latter can survive on anything, including plastic bags, and never ever gets stolen. There may be other subtle differences. Elsewhere in ZA you get all sorts of milk goats, Kalahari Reds etc, etc.

Re: Which one of you lost a Boer goat ?
Lots of Boer goats over here in Aus too.
I have seen them on coastal frms, inland, wherever in Queensland.
Lots of Boers too intbe Tablelands region of Cairns- when we first arrived in 2007 we were the token English speaking Saffers.
