Daguanshan Black Goat

Daguanshan Black Goat

　　The Daguanshan Black Goat is a premium breed from Daguan County. Entirely black in color, it has been developed through years of breeding and rearing to become highly disease-resistant and adaptable, capable of thriving at both high and low altitudes. It boasts strong reproductive capabilities, often producing multiple offspring per birth — first-time mothers usually give birth to at least one kid, while experienced does typically bear two kids per litter, sometimes as many as four. The meat is tender and delicious, with fine and tightly-knit hide. Individual performance metrics include: yearling grade-one goats weighing 36–38 kg, with a chest circumference of 72–76 cm, body length of 61–64 cm, and height of 67–69 cm. Newborn kids typically weigh 1.5–3 kg, and reach 10–13 kg by weaning. Adult goats over two years of age can weigh 52–55 kg.
