The only benefit of keeping Boer goats in captivity is that they grow fast. Generally, domestic animals are in captivity, this is because after the animal eats the stinger, it becomes its own component after digestion and absorption, if it is not captive, let the animal chase and run around, it will consume a lot of energy, so that the fattening effect of livestock declines. It should be noted that domestic animals are domesticated from wild animals, and if they are bred in captivity, they can only increase their yield, but the taste of animal meat is significantly reduced, just as the taste of domestic pigs is much worse than that of wild boars.
So now there are many people who are doing outdoor stocking in the wild environment that mimics animal creatures.
