IRISH BOER GOAT ASSOCIATION COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The Irish Boer Goat Association (IBGA) is the recognised breed society for Boer goat breeders throughout Ireland, operating under the auspices of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. As a company limited by guarantee, IBGA maintains an EU‑compliant breeding programme and provides a formal framework for the preservation and development of the Boer goat – a fast‑growing, disease‑resistant meat breed celebrated for its distinctive white body and brown head.

IBGA’s core services include the administration of a regulated breeding scheme, the publication of detailed rules of procedure, and the distribution of a comprehensive user guide for grassroots members. The association also acts as a liaison with the British Boer Goats Society and the South African Boer Goats Breeder’s Association, ensuring Irish breeders stay connected with the wider international community. Through its website and active Facebook presence, IBGA keeps members informed of the latest news, best‑practice guidance and opportunities for collaboration.
