Spanish goats

[Dave-Trinity-Farms]

Did a bunch of reading on them. Hardy in hot climates so they are perfect for their kinda area. Able to eat low quality food and maintain. Which does in turn make them slow growing and smaller of size. Still not sold on them being more parasite resistant. That alone can be attributed to their climate. Hot dry areas have a fraction of the parasites you will find in wetter areas. Tropical environments are the worst. They are on par maintenance wise with the boer goats. Which is to say they are considered meat goats. So higher feed quality, hoof trimming, vaccines and so on are not needed or done. But this is totally a profit factor. But I will give that this may in turn, produced a hardier goat over the years.

So, with the above said, it may still be worth it to give it a try. I maybe wrong on all levels and the result is an outstanding pack goat. Only by doing it will you know. If nothing else the hybrid vigor may be so great as to warrant the experiment. Just dont go in expecting to much
