Choosing the right goat for you

If you need help to decide on the best goat for you, please consult our Choose Your Type page.

Purebred dairy goats

Purebred dairy goats are descended from goats imported into Uganda from Europe and South Africa. They are mainly Saanen, Toggenburg or a mixture of those breeds. But some may also have some British Alpine or Anglo-Nubian ancestry. More detailed information is given on the Purebred Dairy page.

The Prices for goatlings of 8 to 9 months old and a minimum of 17 kg estimated weight* are given below.

75% crossbred goats

Goats with one local grandparent and three purebred dairy grandparents are called ¾ crosses or 75% dairy. More information can be found on our 75% crosses page.

The Prices for goatlings of 8 to 9 months old and a minimum of 17 kg estimated weight* are given in the table below.

50% crossbred goats

Goats with a local mother and a pure dairy father are known as 50% crosses.  If the mother and father are both 50%, the offspring are also reckoned as 50%. More information can be found on our 50% crosses page.

The Prices for goatlings of 8 to 9 months old and a minimum of 17 kg estimated weight* are given in the table below.

* We estimate weight using the heart girth method:

Kabulya Breeds

We believe that in the future, the Kabulya Smallholder Goat (KSG) will be a much better choice than a simple 50% cross. Similarly, the Kabulya Commercial Goat (KCG) will eventually displace the 75% crosses. These breeds are not available yet. But keep checking, because when they are, you will probably want to buy a KSG male to mate with your 50% dairy females, or a KCG male to mate with your 75% dairy females.

Or even better, consider joining our breeding programme, so you will be among the first to get the benefit of the new breeds.
