The white Savanna goat breed was developed from indigenous goats of South Africa. The Savanna breed is a very heavy meat goat breed with a great disposition and is easy to handle. In their home country of South Africa, they are bred to be hardy and very parasite resistant.The result was a fertile, heat, parasite and drought resistant breed with good meat characteristics. Interest in the breed led to the recognition of the specie in its own right and the Savannah Goat Breeders Association was formed in 1993. One of the advantages of these white goats was the fact that the white color is dominant over most other colors. Savanna Goats closely resemble Boer Goats except in colouration – you can have any colour that you want, as long as it's white. They have excellent reproduction, muscular development, good bones, and strong legs and hooves. Although they have white hair, they are selected for totally black pigmented skin, horns, hooves and all bare skin areas to avoid injury by strong ultra-violet rays.
