Also distinguishing the Galla goat from the common East African goat can be quite tricky

I believe the biggest difference between galla and the small e.a goat (commonly known as kienyeji)is size & taste.When you put the 2 together the kienyeji ones look like kids to the galla.@oltome,majimaji,I got some kalahari bucks & semen from RSA.Definate advantage of Kalahari,boer & savanna is fast growth rate.The kienyeji ones will attain dead weight of 7-8 kgs in 24 months. Imagine slaughtering a superior breed/cross @ 6 months @ 60 kgs per animal @ 400 per kg.
