Feedback
Elena, 43 years old, farmer, Klin. Not so long ago my dream came true. Directly from Pakistan, my goat flew in โ Kamori. She went through all the necessary quarantines, vaccinations, and after 7 months she settled on my farm. In the first month of quarantine, she lived in a stall, next to the horse. At first, I was worried that she would be uncomfortable alone, but I was wrong. Very charming. Summer came, and the goat grew up, matured. Long legs, beautiful body shape. It gives a lot of milk, and I donโt regret at all that I bought it. Irina, 46 years old, farmer, Aleksin. A lot can be said about them, but Iโll get by with what I like most about them, and the rest of the characteristics were justified too. I really like milk โ not just sweet, but very much!
Kamori goats are beautiful, high quality, and productive. The cost of animals is high, but all expenses quickly pay off, and besides, it is not necessary to create special conditions for their maintenance.
