Saanen Goats

Saanen goats are a popular breed of dairy goat originating in the Saanen Valley of Switzerland. The coat of the Saanen is fine and light-coloured, white being generally preferred. Similar to the Toggenburg, with a medium-to-large frame, straight or dished face, and erect ears. The adult Saanen weighs roughly 65kg. The milk of the Saanen goat is like that of other goats and is more easily digestible than cow’s milk. The breed is highly valued in Europe and the United States as a persistent milk producer.
