Best goats for milk?

[Acrilex]

Hi, I'm new here, and I was wondering which breed of Goats will give the most milk? I plan on starting a goat milk, cheese, and butter business, and would like to know what breed would be best?

I live in Brazil, and my region is mostly European-like weather. Should I be looking for breeds from Europe?

I think first you have to find out what breeds are in your area. In America, Saanans are known for having the most milk but I don't know if they are in your area.

Welcome!

I can't say which breeds have the most milk for your area, either, but I definitely can't wait to see some pictures of your animals when you get them!

Yes, Saanans are around my area they are the breed my father and I were thinking about getting

I have a friend from Brazil and let me just say, Brazilian cheese bread is the greatest thing ever!

Saanens are generally the highest producing dairy goats that I know of. But there may be a breed with higher butterfat?

LaManchas and Nubians have higher butterfat (Nubians moreso). Nubians are kind of loud and LaManchas are a lot quieter

Does anyone know the amount of milk produced by the Nubians daily?
