During Eid-al-Adha, goat markets across India see a huge demand for premium breeds. Among all, the Sojat Goat (popularly known as the Sojati Bakra) stands out as one of the most prestigious and highly priced choices.
What makes the Sojati Bakra so popular? First is its unique aesthetics. They are almost entirely white, with a beautiful pink-tinted skin, pink ears, and pink nose. Their long, floppy ears give them an elegant appearance. Second is their heavy body weight; well-raised Sojat bucks can easily reach 80 to 120 kg, making them ideal for sacrificial offerings.
Furthermore, they have a gentle, calm temperament, making them easy to handle. Breeders in Sojat put extraordinary care into grooming these goats, feeding them a specialized diet of almonds, milk, and fresh green fodder, preparing them for the prestigious markets of Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore.
