　　Riverside Goats

　　Riverside Goats are a nationally renowned local premium breed, valued for both their hide and meat. The meat is tender, with a mild gamey flavor and high nutritional value. Dried mutton contains 72.3% protein, including 8.7% lysine and 16.61% glutamic acid. Especially high in glutamic acid, it is known as "MSG mutton." The hides are of moderate size, with a dense texture, uniform thickness, softness, and elasticity, and were once exempt from export inspection.

　　Riverside Goats have been bred for over 2,000 years. In the 1970s, Yanhe County was listed as a provincial goat production base county, becoming the central production area of 'Guizhou Goats.' Currently, the county has a goat population of over 300,000.
