This is a chart with graphs that lists the currently most popular dairy goat breeds (Alpine, La Mancha, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, Toggenburg & Nigerian Dwarf Goat). There are many factors in deciding on a dairy goat breed for q 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, but fat content and protein, especially for those looking to create gourmet cheeses or soaps.
