Toggenburgs

[Dandelion]

Toggenburg milk is the best I've had (we also have Nubians and Alpines), sweet and creamy, high producers and very easy to milk (at least the ones I have are). The broad backs are great, and I think the standoffish personality doesn't happen if they just get worked with a lot in the first couple months. They might be more sensitive to punishment than other breeds: Tito (3/4 Togg) gets his feelings hurt if I yell at him, however I just haven't needed to discipline him much. He is shyer with strangers than my other boys, but we are working on that, and partly I think that is because he got less rides in the car than the other boys when he was little, as he was so easy that I neglected him a little. Andre (Toggenburg buck) is the nicest stud goat I've ever met and not at all standoffish, but again, I hand raised him.
