Summary

The Azpi Gorri is a goat that proceeds from the Pyrenees and which has a defined and uniform morphology. The colour of its hide is dark with reddish degradations in the abdomen area. Its area of distribution is limited to the wild stony mountains of the Basque Country. Its development has always been directed towards the obtainment of the sucking goats and, in a smaller proportion, to the production of milk. And although its current state of conservation is still critical, it is now possible to continue its maintenance by supporting the initiatives and recognising the work that is being carried out by a handful of young shepherds.
