Question by : I live on the north coast of Honduras and am interested in getting goats for milking.?
I have a nice rocky piece of jungle with a wide variety of trees and plants. My question is this what is the best breed for the climate being pretty hot and humid. obviously my supply will be limited, (unless someone can point me to a goat vendor in La Ceiba?) but what would be ideal for a dairy goat? any other advise that could be of help would be great! thanks, and greetings from the caribbean!

When I used to work in the Italian alps, the guys I worked for had Saarinen goats. They are good on rocky places!

The best answer for you is a Nubian or a Nubian cross. They are from central to northern Africa and do very well in the heat. They are easy to spot as they have long droopy ears. You can get more information from the American Dairy Goat Association. They have a web site that you should be able to access. You may even find someone near you that has this breed.
