Toggunberg Goat

The pure Toggenburg,  is a dairy goat from the Toggenburg Valley in Switzerland. It is the oldest known registered dairy goat breed.Pure Toggs arrived in South Africa in the early 20th century. They were crossbred with South African-type milgoats originating from the pure Saanen imports of 1900 to 1914, resulting in good milkers.

For years, no Toggs were registered in South Africa and all the old genetic stock disappeared. In 1950s, pure Toggenburgs were imported again and the breed slowly grew from there.
