Loashan

The Loashan is a goat breed found in the Shandong Province of China. The breed was developed from Saanen bucks, first introduced to Loushan by German preachers early in 1904, and crossed with local does since 1919. Several later importations were also made.

Laoshan milk goats have been developed from upgrading and selection during the past 70 years, and they are now similar to purebred Saanens in body, conformation, and milk production.
