About Sable Saanen GoatsAbout Sable Saanen Goats





The Sable Saanen Goat, a recognized breed by the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA), is primarily bred for milk production. It originated from Saanen goats brought to America by European settlers. In 2005, the Sable Saanen was officially acknowledged as a separate breed, distinct from its Saanen ancestors.

Before their recognition as a distinct breed, Sable Saanen goats were often culled due to their color variations, which result from a recessive gene. These goats, affectionately referred to as "the Saanens in party clothes," exhibit diverse and eye-catching colors, including black, brown, and grey. While Sables may have white markings, they are not permitted to be solid white, as this would be indistinguishable from a typical Saanen goat.

The recognition of Sable Saanen goats as a separate breed by the ADGA underscores their unique genetic characteristics and importance within the dairy goat industry. Through selective breeding and careful management, Sable Saanen goats have become valued for their milk production capabilities, contributing to the dairy goat farming community.
