What kind of breed of goats are there? Thought goats were goats.
There are over 200 different breeds of goats. I personally can't say one bred is better than the other. Each has their own 'thing'.
Dairy Goats:
You have your swiss breeds , they are;
Alpines
Oberhasli
Saanen
Toggenburg( which I have one doe)
LaMancha( they look like they have no ears)
Nubian( which I have)

Alpines, Saanens, Toggenburgs and Oberhaslis are very similar. They look alot alike. They have upright ears, and dish faces(straight or scooped-out faces) Some of these may have wattles. The two little teats that hang down under their chins. These are nothing and I like to think of these as goat jewerly. These goats seem to do better in cool climates.

LaManchas and Nubians seem to do better in warmer climates. Nubians are known for having a roman nose(rounded face). They also have long and floopy ears.
LaManchas seem to be the calmest breed in dairy goats. They also look like they have no ears.


Hope this informations is helping and will post tomorrow on meat goats and fiber goats.
