Sarda (goat)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sarda is a breed of goat from Sardinia, which originated as a cross between various breeds introduced to the Italian island.

The animals are of medium build; males typically weigh 60 kg and females 50 kg. They are long-necked and deep-chested, and the does have well-developed udders. The annual milk yield of 180–210 litres is not high, but the breed is particularly hardy and well-suited to being raised in a wild or semiwild state in tough conditions.
