Saanen


The Saanen dairy goat hails from the Saanen Valley in Switzerland. Saanen does are heavy milk producers and usually yield 3-4 percent milk fat. They are also the largest of the milking breed of goat, they range from medium to large in size (weighing approximately 145 lbs/65kg) with rugged bone and plenty of vigor.

Saanens are white or light cream in color, with white being the preferred colour. Spots on the skin and small spots of color on the hair are allowable, but not desirable. The hair should be fine, ears should be erect. The face should be straight or dished; a Roman nose is discriminated against.
