Myjavská

Myjavská refers to a breed of domestic goat originating from the Myjava region of Slovakia. These goats are known for their dual-purpose nature, being raised for both milk and meat production. Myjavská goats are typically medium-sized, with a sturdy build and a characteristic white coat, though other color variations can occur. They are well-adapted to the mountainous terrain of their native region, exhibiting good foraging abilities and resilience.

Historically, the Myjavská goat played a significant role in the agricultural economy of the Myjava area, providing a valuable source of sustenance for local farmers. Their milk is generally of good quality, with a suitable fat and protein content for dairy production. The breed is also recognized for its docile temperament, making them relatively easy to manage. While not as widely known internationally as some other goat breeds, the Myjavská remains an important part of Slovakian agricultural heritage. Efforts have been made to preserve and promote the breed, ensuring its continued existence. The breed's specific genetic characteristics and breeding programs are often managed by local agricultural organizations.
