Thüringen in central
Germany is utilized for the production of
milk. It is a variety of the
German Improved Fawn goat breed. The Thuringian goat breed is derived from the selective-breeding of crosses between
Toggenburg,
Harzerziege,
Rhönziege, and
Thüringer Landziege goat breeds. It is well-adapted to mountainous regions but is almost extinct.
