About Booted GoatsAbout Booted Goats





Booted Goats, a distinctive Swiss variety of Mountain Goat, embody resilience, vitality, and robustness in their breed characteristics. These horned goats exhibit a striking appearance, adorned with vibrant hues ranging from bright gray-brown to dark red-brown, accentuated by striking black or brown markings resembling "boots."

Historically, Booted Goats were purposefully bred, recognized for their valuable attributes. However, by the 1980s, their population had dwindled to near extinction. Fortunately, their lineage was preserved and revived through the dedicated efforts of the Foundation Pro Specie Rara, ensuring the continuation of this unique breed.

Today, Booted Goats thrive primarily in eastern Switzerland, where breeding efforts are concentrated. Additionally, there are scattered breeding groups in the central and western regions of the country, contributing to the preservation and proliferation of this iconic Swiss goat variety.

Endowed with resilience and adaptability to the rugged mountainous terrain of Switzerland, Booted Goats symbolize the enduring spirit of Swiss agricultural heritage. Through their vibrant presence and distinct characteristics, these goats continue to captivate the imagination of breeders and enthusiasts, serving as a testament to the importance of preserving biodiversity in livestock farming.
