About Somali GoatsAbout Somali Goats





Somali Goats, native to Somalia and northeastern Kenya, are primarily raised for meat production. These goats are characterized by their short ears and hair, which are typically white but may also feature spots or patches.

Both male and female Somali Goats possess horns, although females are often polled, meaning they naturally lack horns. Their adaptability to harsh environments is notable, as they are drought-tolerant and capable of thriving even when water sources are scarce.

Despite challenging conditions, Somali Goats exhibit remarkable milk production capabilities. When milked, each goat can yield between one to three kilograms of milk daily, a significant contribution to local dairy production even in areas with limited access to water.
