Our Goat Varieties
At Stone House Farm, we take great pride in our goat collection, featuring both local and exotic breeds. Among our notable residents are the Local Mubende goats, known for their resilience and adaptability to the Ugandan climate. We are also excited about our plans to introduce Boer goats, often dubbed “gentle giants” for their large size and docile nature. Originally from South Africa, these gentle giants are ideal for meat production and have won hearts with their friendly disposition.
Adding to our family soon is another South African breed—the Kalahari Red goat—recognized for its heat tolerance and distinct reddish color. With such a diverse range of goats, we’re committed to providing an educational glimpse into these remarkable creatures’ origins and characteristics.
