Stiefelgeiss goats, a meat breed originating from the highlands of St. Gallen, Switzerland, currently have a population of less than one thousand.
Both male and female Stiefelgeiss goats are horned and exhibit a coat that ranges from a light greyish brown to a dark reddish color. While they are not excessively shaggy overall, they have distinctive long beard hairs, known as "Mänteli," that grow particularly long on their hind end. These beard hairs often differ in color from the rest of the coat, adding to the breed's unique appearance. Additionally, some members of the breed may have long, beard-like hairs on their chin, further enhancing their distinctive features.
