406 THE BREEDS OF LIVE-STOCK 
appendages or “ wattles” on the side of the neck, called 
““soetteli.” (These ‘wattles” are not, however, peculiar 
to Toggenburgs, but are found in nearly all breeds of 
goats.) The Toggenburgs 
are splendid milkers, yielding 
four to six quarts daily, and 
carry the well-developed 
udders rather high. They 
bear confinement well, a fact 
that should not be under- 
estimated in considering this 
breed. 
The White Appenzeller 
Fic. 83.— Toggenburg milch 
goat. goat may be regarded as a 
white variety of the Tog- 
genburg breed, and is native in the Canton Appenzell 
adjoining the Toggenburg valley in Switzerland. Like 
the Toggenburg breed, it is large, hardy and productive. 
The White Saanen goat (Fig. 84) is another very popu- 
lar Swiss breed. It is gener- 
ally hornless and of large 
size. It is a good milker, 
and has been exported ex- 
tensively from Switzerland 
for ameliorative purposes. 
The Black-necked Valaisan 
goat is a very pretty and 
attractive variety covered 
with long, silky hair, black 
on the head, neck, breast and front legs, and snow-white 
on the entire middle and rear parts of the body. It is a 
fairly good milker, has a splendid constitution, but does 
not thrive under continuous confinement.
