Rove goat

Place of Origin France
Origin The Rove is a breed of goat first domesticated in France. The breed was previously considered endangered, but as of 2003, there are more than 5000 registered Roves on French farms. The goat was originally bred for meat, but because the current French market for goat meat is poor, farmers have begun to use the Rove for dairying, instead. The Rove goat is from Le Rove, a small village near Marseille that gave it its name.
Purpose Meat, Milk
Characteristics The Rove goat is primarily characterized by its long twisted horns. They can reach nearly 4 ft (120 cm) in length. The goats have a smooth coat often in red or black, but also in ash gray, red speckled with white, red mixed with gray, black with tan markings under the eyes and nose or red and black. It is a medium-sized goat. Females range from 100 to 120 lbs (45 kg) and males between 155 to 200 lbs (70 kg).
