There are a number of goat
breeds in existence, some are numerous and others are quite rare. The
Golden Guernsey breed is an example of a rare dairy breed.
According to the Golden Guernsey Society, these goats have erect ears
that turn up slightly at the tips and a dished, or straight facial line.
The breed is smaller than some other breeds and tend to be fine-boned.
This does not mean that they are a delicate breed and even enjoy
sleeping outside in the coldest weather.
As the name suggests, they have a golden-coloured long-haired, or
short-haired coat, with possibly some white markings.
Sometimes the coat on the short smooth-haired Golden Guernsey is
described as being ginger, or ginger-auburn.
Long-haired Golden Guernsey goats can be blonder.
They provide a moderate milk yield of roughly 3.5 pints per day on
average, with a normal range between 2 and 6 pints.
The milk fat and protein content is suitable for making yoghurt and
cheese.
They are considered excellent options as pets, because they are
adaptable to living in a fenced yard, with an adequate shelter.
Stall feeding, or a free range lifestyle are perfect for members of this
breed.
They are even-tempered goats, which tends to make little noise, except
when they are in season.
One drawback to this rare breed is that it may be difficult to find and
obtain goats.
Additionally, there are usually only a few goat kids available at any
one time.
What's important is that the goats are purebred and come from healthy
stock. The blood line is important.
The breed was first registered in 1922 and originates from Guernsey.
In the United Kingdom, the breed has been developed from goats imported
from the Channel Islands.
A breeding programme was begun in 1950 to protect the breed.
