Our Toggenburg-type goats are mostly brown in colour with white markings. They are much more daring than our Saanens and are a mischievous bunch. However, they can be just as affectionate and life is never dull with these characters around.

That endearing roman nose and droopy ears makes these the favourites for some of our farmers. They come in quite a range of colours and are more highly strung than other breeds. As cheese makers we appreciate their value as they produce milk with a higher butter fat (you could say the “Channel Island breed” for goats).

The goats that provide our milk are a colourful bunch and each has an individual character.  The farms use 3-4 main breeds and then cross them to produce the best milking nannies.  Each breed has its own special characteristics and even their own personality.
