Göingeget

The Göinge goat, also known as Peasantry goat, is not bred for how much milk or meat they produce. The breeding selection is quite random exccept for the effort to refrain from inbreeding. This however is not an easy task since all Göinge goats come from two does found in the area around Tyringe in the south of Sweden (in Småland). There is an established Gene Bank to control the breeding of the Göinge Goat. The Göinge Goat originates from a type of goat that was common all over the south of Sweden in the 19th century. This goat is usually horned and is seen in colorations of gray, brown, white, or pied. Their hair is usually long, and they are quite robust.
