Alpines cost 20k. According to him, it is not possible to get output of 4lts thats usually reported in the media. A buddy of mine gave me contacts of a farmer in Nakuru who keeps toggenburg breed. I called the farmer who says max toggenburg output is 2.5lt...i think its a worthy venture but one needs to visit farmers to get a realistic picture

The taste is a bit "yak" too and not many pple like it. You need like 3 goats to get 1 okombe of milk and add that to the squatting you have to do to milk a goat!

You can improvise the pen so that inakaa kwa Gorofa then you milk when standing. True the taste is yak.I tried the one at Nakumatt and did not like it. You can get a litre or two but from those special breeds.
