These tortoises may attain a length of 10 to 14 in (25 to 36 cm), with males being slightly larger than females. A male tortoise has a longer gular horn than a female, his plastron (lower shell) is concave compared to a female tortoise. Males have larger tails than females do.
We breed all colorations and patterns of Spotted and Dappled Boers including mahogany/white, red/tan, black/white, black/tan, lemon/white, caramel/tan, and tri-colors. We offer many different bloodlines of spotted and dappled Boer goats which we have developed and that are unique to us.
Many breeds of beef cattle have a fixed color pattern for that breed because selection has been placed on the color in order to maintain these characteristics. For example, all Hereford cattle have a red body color with a white face, all Charolais are white, and all Red Poll are red. However, other breeds may have more than one basic body color such as red or black Limousin or Simmental, and white, red, or roan Shorthorn.
