Valais Blackneck goat

Dialect, pedigree, and no teeth in the upper jaw

  1. The genders have no teeth in their upper jaw. Instead, they have a very mobile upper lip that helps them in sorting their food.

  2. Goats are quite intelligent animals. You can teach them their name and to come when you call.

  3. It is said that goats have different dialects depending on the country they come from.

  4. Goats have been kept as domestic animals long before cattle were domesticated. The first goats arrived in Denmark about 6000 years ago.

Meet the Valais Blackneck goats at Maglemermarken.
