Читать книгу Raising Goats For Dummies - Cheryl K. Smith - Страница 65

Saanens are white or off-white in coloring and are the largest of the standard dairy goats. Sables are Saanens that aren’t white, due to a recessive gene. They have erect ears, like the Alpine, and are usually mellow and easy-going.

Sables and Saanens are known for their high milk production and are therefore often used in commercial dairies. A downside to Saanens is that their white coats show dirt and also make them more prone to sunburn.
