On the farm (12) : Kempense Geit

Kempense Geit (°) is a very old Belgian breed of goats descended from the White Irish goat centuries ago.

Nowadays, this animal is on the edge of extinction as only a handful of people is maintaining the breed. Currently there are only 212 specimens alive and that causes serious inbreeding problems.

In 2013 only 2 little goats were born, none in 2014 and so far this year again 2 (see my picture).

(°) : There exists no specific English name for this breed of goats but literally translated it means : Campine Goat (Campine being a region in Flanders)

Dutch name : Kempense geit
German name : --
Latin name : Capra hircus
