In general indigenous breeds are low producing than the exotics in terms of meat production. However, they have several other positive attributes such as hardiness, adaptability to local harsh conditions and can produce in low input system. All identified breeds are well adopted in traditional grazing management system and spend more than 6-8 hours in pasture. They can easily convert farm and kitchen wastes; agriculture by-products, and low quality pastures into valuable meat, milk and wool. Goat meat is the most expensive item in the market in compare to any other available and preferred by almost all ethnic communities. It is also a source of hard currencies. It is observed that these positive attributes are not duly recognized rather exotics breeds are unnecessarily exaggerated over them. Sinhal goat can thrive in high Himalayan mountain region between the elevations of 1500 to 3000 masl. This is the heaviest goat breed among the indigenous goats. Similarly, Khari are more prolific among the four indigenous breeds and can adopt in different agro-climatic zones from river basin to mid-hills (1100 masl). They generally produce first kid by the age of 12-14 months with the kidding interval of 9 months. The breed demonstrates higher twinning frequency with triplet and even quadruplet is fairly common. The breed is widely used by Government and non-government organizations for poverty reduction programme in rural areas of the country as they seldom compete with human beings in cereal consumption. Terai goat is hardy in the southern hot plains of the country. They display a wide range of variation within the breed. They are well adopted in high rain fall to dry climatic condition of the Terai region. The first kidding occurs at the age of 15-16 months and kidding interval is 9-10 months. In terms of prolificacy the breed demonstrates similar ability as Khari goat. Chyangra goats are found in the trans Himalayan region of Nepal above 2400 masl and are raised under migratory system. They have coarse but silky long hair reaching up to the knees, beneath which a fine under coat is present. They are well-known for the quality cashmere (pashmina) production. It produces about 300-1130 g wool annually whereas and pashmina production is about 115-170g. The pashmina shawl is soft, warm and comfortable and priced as above from $3,000 to $15,000 (WP, 2007). They are equally recognized as means of transportation in higher Himalayan terraces where road facility rarely exists.
