Toggenburgs, also referred to as Toggs, are beautifully marked and range in color from fawn to chocolate brown with white markings. They resemble a medium-sized Alpine in body shape, with erect ears. The Toggenburg is a Swiss dairy goat from Toggenburg Valley of Switzerland at Obertoggenburg. They are also credited as being the oldest known dairy goat breed.

Toggs produce a moderate amount of milk but are known for long lactations. More than one person has told me that they don’t like the taste of Toggenburgs’ milk, probably because it has a low butterfat content and doesn’t taste as rich as some of the other goats’ milk.
