A fullblood is 100% Boer.
No other breed is involved. See Full
South African? for a definition of this fullblood
term.
|
A fullblood buck bred
to a brush goat or a Kiko or Spanish (or any other
breed) produces a 1/2 blood – or 50% kid (1/2
Boer and 1/2 something else).
|
If that 50% (1/2) doe
is then bred to a fullblood buck, the offspring
is 75% (3/4). (You get this by adding 100% plus
50% then dividing the 150 by 2.)
|
If you breed the 75%
doe to a fullblood buck, the offspring is 7/8 Boer
or 87.5%.
|
An 87.5% doe bred to
a fullblood buck produces a 15/16 or 93.75%.
|
A 93.75% doe bred to
a fullblood buck produces a 31/32 or 96.875% kid
|
A 96.875% doe bred to
a fullblood buck produces a 63/64 or 98.4375 % kid
|
A 98.4 % doe bred to
a fullblood buck produces a 127/128 or 99.2% kid.
|
A 99.2% doe bred to
a fullblood buck produces a 255/256 or 99.6% kid.

You can never get to 100% when you start with less
than 100% - the best you can ever reach would be 99.999%.
|
A doe is considered a purebred if she is 15/16 (93.75%)
or better.
|
A buck is considered a purebred if he is 31/32 (96.875%).
|
When showing in sanctioned shows (i.e., ABGA, USBGA,
or IBGA), there is no distinction between purebreds
and fullbloods as far as classes go. Percentage does/doelings
(anything less than 15/16 or 94%) are shown in their
own classes apart from fullblood/ purebreds. Only
fullblood or purebred bucks/ bucklings are allowed
to be shown in the sanctioned shows. Most 4-H shows
don’t allow bucks at all and only show wethers
and doelings.
|
|
If you register a buck that is less than 31/32 (and
the Associations will gladly accept your $7 to do
so), the registration papers have (IBGA at any rate)
"OFFSPRING NOT SUBJECT TO REGISTRATION."
We registered one just to see.
