This breed has a fine head, lob ears, round horns that are bent backwards, and tender meat.
Indigenous goats arrived in South Africa and Namibia with migrating tribes from the north. Early records describe lob-eared goats in the Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Northern Cape, as well as in areas of Namibia.
Farmers in the Northern Cape who preferred red lob-eared goats began selecting for a specific type that was slightly smaller than the red-and-white improved Boer goat.
