TYPE OF GOAT

There was so many type of goat in this world,and here is some of it!!

Alpine Goats: Alpine goats excel as dairy animals in commercial operations and on small farms, producing a high volume of milk over a long lactation period.  Their milk has a good protein and butterfat content, lending itself well to cheese production.

Boer Goats: The heavy-framed, large-boned Boer is a popular meat goat. Boers are the most popular meat goat breed in North America.

Nubian Goats: Often referred to as the “Jersey” of the dairy goat world, the Nubian goat produces a creamy milk with a high butterfat and protein content, ideal for creating cheese, yogurt, ice cream, and soap.

LaMancha Goats:  LaManchas produce plenty of butterfat-rich milk for concocting cheese, yogurt, ice cream, and soap. They make fine, friendly, unusual-looking pets, show animals and brush-mowers. Their calm, people-loving disposition makes them useful for packing.

Kiko Goats: Kikos can thrive in rough conditions while producing meat efficiently. They cross well with Boers.

Savanna Goats: Savanna goats are premier meat goats; they produce delicious, mild-tasting chevon and lots of it. While they resemble their Boer cousins in all but coloration, Savannas are hardier, making them ideal goats for low maintenance input operations.

 Pygora Goats: The versatile Pygora goat grows one of three types of fleeces for spinners: Type A, Angora, dangles in long, lustrous, curly locks; Type B blends the Angora mohair with the soft Pygmy undercoat, called cashmere; and Type C, the Cashmere type.

Nigerian Dwarf Goats: Nigerian Dwarf goats are perfectly scaled miniature dairy goats. Nigerian Dwarfs give up to two quarts of 6- to 10-percent butterfat milk per day.

Saanen Goats: Saanen (pronounced SAH-nen or SAW-nen) goats originated in the Saanen Valley of the canton of Bern in Switzerland, where they were selected for milking ability, hardiness, and color. Saanen average 1,975 to 2,000 pounds of 3 percent to 4 percent butterfat.
