Mixed Indigenous

KSH 14,000

Due to interbreeding over generations, "mixed indigenous goats" typically lack a uniform appearance or standardized breed characteristics. Appearance: Coat colors can range widely, including solid white, black, brown, or various mixed patterns (piebald, spotted, reddish-brown and white). They often have horns that can be straight or curved, and ear sizes/orientations also vary (e.g., drooping or erect). Size and Weight: Generally small to medium-sized compared to exotic breeds. For example, the Small East African goat typically weighs between 25-30 kg (does) and 30-40 kg (bucks), while the larger Galla goat can reach up to 70 kg for males. Adaptability and Resilience: They are highly resilient and well-suited to the local climate (both hot/dry and humid regions), thriving on sparse vegetation and low-input management systems. This adaptability means they often have strong natural resistance to common local diseases and parasites. Production: They are typically raised for multiple purposes, including meat, milk (though yields are generally lower than specialized dairy breeds), and manure. Their meat is often lean and flavorful. Reproduction: They tend to be highly fertile with good maternal instincts and often produce twins, contributing to steady herd growth.
