A dairy goat is a breed of goat specifically raised for milk production. These goats are known for their ability to produce high-quality milk, which can be used for drinking or making products like cheese and yogurt. Common dairy goat breeds include Saanen, Nubian, and Alpine, each with unique characteristics and milk flavors. Dairy goats are typically kept on farms and require proper care, including a balanced diet and regular veterinary check-ups. They are social animals and thrive in herds, making them a popular choice for both small-scale and commercial dairy operations.
