Behavior:
The goats of the Altai Mountains are tough and frequently quite energetic. The breed is renowned for its robust constitution and capacity to adapt to the challenging circumstances of intensive husbandry in the highlands.
Benefits/Uses:
The primary purpose of raising these goats is to produce wool. However they may fatten up quickly during a brief summer time, and their meat is of high quality. Hence, they may also benefit the production of meat in addition to wool.
Origin/History:
The Altai Mountains’ Altai Republic region is where the breed was first made public. The Don goat was crossed with regional goats between 1944 and 1982 to gradually create the breed. The breed was developed with the intention of producing a goat with a high wool yield that could resist the harsh Siberian winters’ climatic conditions.
