BLOODLINES

Bloodlines

Over the last 150 years there have been a few families that have kept the Spanish goats true to what they were without influencing them with other breeds while at the same time improving the breed by culling their herds heavily and keeping a very high standard for the goats they were raising. We consider them our foundation breeders/bloodlines.
