Lately there has been a surge in organizations, like the SVF, that are trying to preserve the embryos and semen of endangered species like Spanish goats. Their goal is to ensure that the unique genetics of each breed are not lost. We applaud their interest in preserving these precious breeds. Making efforts to protect rare breeds is very important and we appreciate their dedication. However, we have our own all natural approach for protecting these animals.
Spanish goats are characterized by their ability to survive and adapt to any environment. That is what makes them worth preserving! Spanish goats are not "endangered" because they are weak or incapable of surviving the rigors of daily life, but, on the contrary, because they are often crossed with other breeds so they can improve the weaknesses of the other animals.
While we use a small portion of our herd to cross with a Kiko buck, we focus heavily on preserving Spanish genetics the natural way - by breeding them and then letting them cope with the elements on their own.
Many breeders right now are being forced to sell their herds for slaughter because of the drought. But when spring hits and the rain returns, Spanish goats will be in high demand. When people start breeding and increasing their herd sizes the Spanish goats will be more protected than ever!
