ABOUT US
ABOUT US
Bunnaloo Black Goats was established in 2017, in response to requests for black goat genetic material, from overseas markets. Murray River Genetics (the artificial breeding arm of our business) has allowed us to swiftly expand the size of the stud.
The stud originated from stock purchased from the famous Jolleen Stud at Mudgee, NSW. We have expanded from 10 females to 80 females. A large expansion program has been embarked upon, with over 200 recipient females being implanted with twin embryos. The idea is to expand our stud to 200 breeding does over the coming years.
The popularity of black and red goats has increased throughout Australia due to better survivability and increased carcass weight, that the Kalahari's have added to the industry.
​
High standards of animal husbandry are maintained throughout the stud, including regular vaccinations and parasite control.
Bunnaloo Black Goat Stud is registered with the Boer Goat Breeder's Association of Australia LTD (BGBAA) and the Kalahari Goat Association of Australia (KGAA). All of our sires and dams are registered with both associations giving our clients the option to choose which association they would like their goats registered with.

About the breed
About the breed
The Kalahari breed originated from South Africa, this breed was found to be hardy, highly fertile and with good mothering ability.
Other notable attributes:
- Disease/ Parasite Resistant
- Adaptable to harsh climatic conditions
- Lean meat
- Fast growing kids, which dramatically increase the weights of the progeny of rangeland goats.
Due to the origins of the breed and the nature of genetics Black and Red goats can produce full siblings which are Black or Red, or kids with some white or brown. As this is out of our control we can't guarantee colour.
