Toggenburg Goats

If you are interested in a medium-sized goat for milking, you should consider the Toggenburg, which is always a shade of brown, somewhere between tan and dark chocolate. The Toggenburg goat's butterfat average is the lowest of the dairy breeds, but it still makes great cheese.Today we are talking to Leslie Cardoza owner of Bar XX Dairy Goats, who has been breeding Toggenburgs for milk and show in California since 2003. She has had goats on the ADGA Top Ten list for milk production every year since 2010, and one year her goats took seven of the ten spots. In addition to talking about characteristics of the Toggenburg goat, she also talks about milk testing and how that affects her breeding decisions.Full show notes here -- https://thriftyhomesteader.com/toggenburg-goats/To see the most recent episodes, visit  ForTheLoveOfGoats.comWant to support the content you love?Head over to -- https://thrifty-homesteader.ck.page/products/love-goats-tip-jarThanks for listening!No one ever said raising goats was easy, but it doesn't have to cost a fortune or drive you crazy!
