J\u00e4mtland goat<\/h1><\/div>

Capra hircus<\/h2><\/div>

Its modest feeding requirements made the J\u00e4mtland goat an excellent dairy animal for small farms and crofts. Goats eat less in proportion to their size than cows, making them cheaper to keep.<\/p>\n

A pure native Swedish breed, the J\u00e4mtland goat is well adapted to pasture. It has long been valued as a dairy goat, with a single animal able to produce around 500 liters of rich milk per year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

J\u00e4mtland goat<\/h3><\/div>

The J\u00e4mtland goat is fine-boned with a narrow head. Its coat is mainly white with black, brown, or grey markings.<\/p>\n

As a ruminant, it feeds on grass, shrubs, and tree bark. Both males and females usually have horns, although hornless individuals also occur. The horns of a male can grow up to one metre in length.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its modest feeding requirements, the J\u00e4mtland goat was an excellent dairy animal for small farms and crofts. Goats eat less in proportion to their size than cows, making them cheaper to keep. The J\u00e4mtland is one of three traditional Swedish peasant goat breeds, alongside the Lapp goat and the G\u00f6inge goat from southern Sweden.<\/p>\n

A pure native breed, the J\u00e4mtland goat is well adapted to pasture and has long been valued as a dairy animal. A single goat can produce around 500 litres of rich milk per year.<\/p>\n<\/div>
