Demographics
Miniature Silky Fainting Goats Association
The shape of the recorded MSFGA population — who's in it, how the breeding is distributed, and how it's structured.
Age structure
Status
Disposition of every recorded animal.
Sex ratio
Active population.
Reproduction
Conception type (inner ring) and litter size (outer ring).
Average litter size (natural service): 2.1
Birth seasonality
Active animals by birth month.
Breeding concentration
How offspring are distributed across sires. A long tail means a few sires dominate — the picture behind effective population size.
The most-used 10% of sires produced 41% of recorded offspring.
Herd sizes
Active animals per owner — whether the breed sits with a few large operations or many smallholders.
Generation interval
Age of parents at offspring birth across the population.
All figures describe the currently recorded population and update as records change. Ownership is shown only as a distribution, never as named holdings.
