Desert flocks tend to be much larger than flocks in the Delta and New Lands. Bedouins living in a tribe will run all of their animals together. Goats Most farmers run sheep and goats together. But unlike sheep, goats are not considered an economic enterprise. Meat production is the primary objective, though some milking is done, to provide fresh milk for children.
Many farmers have no interest in improving production from their goats.
Nubian is the most common breed of goat. However, they are different from the Anglo-Nubians that we raise here in the States. Other goats are local, desert breeds, not as good as the Nubian, which is indigenous to North Africa. We observe some crossing with the Damascus, a big, long-haired goat from Syria. In general, the goats are of good meat type.
