Oberhasli

The Oberhasli is a distinctive dairy goat breed known for its striking appearance and excellent milk production. Originating from the mountainous regions of Switzerland, particularly the Bernese Oberland, this breed is characterized by its rich, bay-colored coat with black facial stripes, a black dorsal stripe, and black markings on the belly and legs, which provide a striking contrast. Oberhasli goats are medium-sized, with a sturdy and compact build, harmonizing both elegance and robustness, making them well-suited for mountainous terrains.

They possess gentle and friendly temperaments, making them a favorite among farmers and goat enthusiasts alike. Their docile nature pairs well with their excellent foraging ability, making them efficient grazers in diverse landscapes. In dairy production, Oberhaslis are celebrated for their high-quality milk, which is known for its sweetness and richness, ideal for cheese and other dairy products. They are prolific milkers, producing substantial amounts of milk with consistently high butterfat and protein content.

With their appealing looks, amiable natures, and impressive productivity, Oberhaslis are a favorite in both small-scale farms and larger commercial operations. Their adaptability, resilience, and endearing personalities make them not only great producers but also delightful companions in any setting.
