Stiefelgeiss

Stiefelgeiss is a breed of domestic mountain goats originating in the highlands of St. Gallen, Switzerland.

Their coats range from a light greyish brown to a dark reddish color.

Noting this, the Swiss preservation foundation Pro Specie Rara took an interest in the breed.

Now mostly managed by the Booted Goat Breeders Club of Switzerland,[1] the ongoing conservation efforts encourage farmers to keep the goats for their agricultural usefulness, for service as mother nannies, and for meat.

They are concentrated in eastern Switzerland, with scattered breeding groups also found in the central and western regions of the country.
