Here, they are crossed with rams from intermediate crossing breeds such the Blueface Leicester. F1 Females are sold for breeding in lowland flocks where they are mated to terminal-sire breeds such as the Suffolk and the Texel. Most data recording and genetic evaluation aim at improving the terminal-sire breeds to produce rams of superior genetic quality. Data recording and genetic evaluations are carried out by commercial operations such as Signet or by research institutions supported by public fundsMost dairy goats are in developing countries. However, breeding programmes are concentrated mainly in Europe and North America. The French selection programme, based on AI with frozen semen and oestrus synchronization (60 000 goats inseminated/year), and the Norwegian programme, based on rotation of sires in several herds (buck circles), are examples of organized progeny testing programmes. They include a formal definition of selection objectives and organized mating to produce young sires and their progeny. Probably, the best example of a structured meat goat breeding programme is that run by the Boer Goat Breeders’ Association of Australia. Cashmere and mohair production is based on straight-breeding of the respective breeds. There is almost no cross-breeding involving Angoras.
