The Damascus goat is generally used for milk production but also performs well in leather and meat production. This rare breed of goat has become extremely valuable, and according to goat connoisseurs, their price can go all the way up to 8,000 USD, depending on their beauty.

A local goat club or goat breeders' association is a good place to find out about goat raisers who are helpful and have good quality goats for sale.

In addition to milk production, Damascus goats are also raised for meat production due to their fast growth rate and ability to gain weight quickly compared to other breeds of goats. Male Damascus goats can weigh between 70kg - 90kg, while females generally weigh between 50kg - 65kg.
