There are many factors in deciding on a dairy goat breed for your small farm or operation- size, temperament, life span etc. But perhaps the most important factor for a dairy goat owner is milk production, and not just volume, fat content and protein are equally as important especially for those looking to create gourmet cheeses or soaps.

To help make this difficult decision just a little bit easier, we’ve compiled a list of today’s most popular dairy goat breeds (Alpine, La Mancha, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, Toggenburg & Nigerian Dwarf Goat) . If you have a statistic or breed to add- let us know in the comments!
