About our Goats

Toggenburg goats.

Toggenburg goats are medium-sized animals with small ears, large eyes, and straight faces. Their coats can come in various shades ranging from pure white to light brown. They usually weigh around 130 pounds when fully grown, making them one of the smaller breeds of dairy goats.

Toggenburg goats are known for producing a high milk yield having excellent butterfat content. This makes their milk valuable as it can be used to make cheese, yogurt and ice cream.

Toggenburgs originated in St. Gallen, Switzerland, in the Toggenburg region. It is believed that these goats originated from the valley of the jagged Churfirsten mountains.

Farmers kept small herds of these goats for pasture maintenance because they ate many plants that cows ignored.

In addition to being great for keeping pastures maintained, this breed became popular due to their strong limbs and well-formed udders and teats, which made them ideal for dairy production.

This is a hard-working yet friendly goat that loves people—making it an excellent pet or farm animal!
