💚 La cabra Murciano-granadina. Sierra del Montsec, Lleida 🐐🐐🐐🐐

The Murcia-Granadina breed is known worldwide for its great milking capacity. It is native to the southeast of Spain, specifically from the provinces of Murcia and Granada. Its origin is found in the fusion of the old Granada breed and the old Murcian breed. The black layers are of Granada origin and the mahogany layers come from the Murcian type. It is one of the best milk producers in the world. Its ability to adapt to arid and dry climates has made this breed an excellent candidate to spread to other countries with a Mediterranean climate, and today it has successfully spread throughout southern Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. The elements that have allowed this success are fundamentally its resistance to heat and its great capacity to produce milk in arid conditions. The milk of the Murcian-Granadina goat has a very high fat and protein content, providing a very high yield during its transformation into cheese. It is a very interesting breed in countries subject to episodes of high temperatures, chosen by farmers who establish small farms and who are committed to making artisanal cheeses in areas where other breeds would have difficulty producing high-quality milk.
