The ram was sold in a private transaction to the VEA Stud breeders of Bonnievale at the end of April.

Speaking to Farmer’s Weekly, Abraham Burger described the ram as the embodiment of the best possible Boer goat genetics available. Next Level was, according to him, the quintessential type of animal to take the breed into the future.

“He is a prime example of what the ennoblement of the Boer goat is all about, with exceptional capacity in terms of meat and muscling and highly acceptable levels of body fat.

“It is our mission as stud breeders to continuously work towards the improvement of our animals, and Next Level is a prime example of our quest towards the breeding of outstanding genetics. He is perfectly balanced with an exceptional head, long neck and ease of movement,” he added.
