Which breed is my goat?

[Backyardherder]

The guy we got her from couldn't supply us with a definite answer, although he suspected a Saanen cross. We have another doe from the same herd, who looks a lot like this one. They are full-sized goats.

Any input will be much appreciated!

Kiko? The long hair is throwing me off though. Not sure if the kiko breed can have long hair. Other guess would be a cashmere goat.

ETA: Where are you from? That could make a difference too as many different goat breeds are available outside of the USA.

Head isn't right for a kiko and I never saw one with a long coat.


Whatever breed, she is pretty.

I am going to say Guernsey cross...

Some of the spanish goats have long hair, might have some of this in it?

Has anyone heard of a Guernsey goat? I had not until the other day, they can have long hair and are a golden color, good dairy goats.

I had to google it myself. After googling it I see the resemblance. Maybe this one is a Guerney/Kiko cross?

I could see that to, guernseys are a very uncommon breed.
