CROSSBREDS EXPORTED TO MALAYSIA

Cluny Exports is very selective where we source from, whom we source from, quality comes from good goat country and good breeders. All goats are inspected for faults by one of our staff and on average 50% are rejected. All stock are individually weighed and ear tagged, the client receives this list before embarkation.

We do not claim to source from only our farm, to ensure year round quality stock we source through over 40 suppliers in different areas providing a larger number of animals to apply quality control measures to. Locations may spread over 2000 kilometres and the extra effort we make in inspecting and rigidly implementing quality will help you achieve success.

THE STANDARD BOER GOAT

The standard Boer Goat has a red head and white body. The Boer goat was developed in South Africa in the early 1900s for meat production. Their name is derived from the Dutch word “Boer” meaning farmer. The Boer goat was probably bred from the indigenous goats of the Namaqa Bushmen and the Fooku tribes, with some crossing of Indian and European bloodlines being possible. From the arid climates of Australia, South Africa , and the Middle East to the tropics of Malaysia and the Philippines the Boer Goat is an animal for all climates. The breed has been highly successful in upgrading local breeds.

SAVANNA GOATS

The White Savanna goat breed was developed from indigenous goats of Southern Africa . In

1957, Cilliers and Sons along the Vaal river became the best known of the originators of this meat goat breed. On the rugged harsh bush country where temperatures and rainfall can vary to a marked extent, predators contribute to livestock mortalities, natural selection played a big role in the development of these fertile easy care, heat and drought resistant animals. These goats have thick pliable skins with short white hair. The Savanna has excellent reproduction, muscular development, good bone and strong legs and hooves. The goats are selected for totally black pigmented skin, horns, hooves and all bare skin areas which can be injured by strong ultra violate rays.

STONE COLD 2006 AUSTRALIAN CHAMPION

Buying quality bucks creates quality progeny for generations. Quality genetics also will allow local goats to be upgraded dramatically. With one buck for 30 females why try to cut corners and save money?

YEARLING DOES BY STONE COLD

High quality Stud Boer Goat Does from Central New South Wales

DOES BY AUSTRALIAN CHAMPION STONE COLD

Faster growing early maturing animals mean profits realised earlier. There exist certain genetics that are not only possess fast weight gain capabilities but also enable animals to achieve this on low protein diets. Protein is one of the highest costs to producers. The highest quality full bloods have these attributes.

QUALITY SUPPLIERS

Our suppliers of high grade Registered Full Bloods include the top four studs in Australia through to commercial breeders of tough high performance crossbreds.

QUALITY GENETICS

Dealing with the best breeders allows us to supply the best performing animals and ensures the success of your agricultural project.

MICATHEL BUCK EXPORTED TOTHE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

The importance of buying quality bucks cannot be overstated, it can be the difference between success and failure, more profit or less profit.

If one thinks in terms of the number of does ( 20 first season) and the number of kids born, the impact of a cheaper buck in terms of faults and problems is greatly exaggerated in subsequent generations.

FIRST AND ONLY SONS OF TARZAN EXPORTED TO MALAYSIA

In 2006 Cluny Exports exported the only sons and daughters of the famous buck Tarzan (now in the USA) to Malaysia. In 2008 the adaptability of these animals to Malaysia are a testament to the fact that buying quality ensures success.

ADAPTABLE AND FAST MATURING

In March 2008 the results of the Tarzan exports are obvious to see in this 120kg son and the look on his owner’s face says it all. Focussing on buying quality ensures fast growing, early maturing animals that realize quicker profits. All this in an environment that does not have the available feeds we have in Australia.

GREAT GENETICS INSURE BREEDING SUCCESS

The does pictured are 90 days old and 30kgs. The average crossbred at this age would weigh 20kgs, the difference in quality genetics is simply the difference between profit and loss. Using quality genetics ensures the production of:1) Fast growing animals2) Animals capable of high weight gains on low protein diets3) Higher profitability

BREEDING CAPABILITIES

Boer Goats have kidding percentages of between 180-220 % depending on farm management practices.

Higher percentages can be achieved in more intensive farming operations, other factors include feed and the use of high quality genetics. Buy the best to breed the best is the best philosophy and cut no corners with feed and management practices .

In 2005 a son of Australian Champion Stone Cold was fed on a grain diet to produce meat for top Chefs from 5 Star Sydney Restaurants. A dressing percentage of 55% was achieved to rave reviews.

Lesser genetics and poorer quality feed would never have achieved this result.
