The Rohgen is a breed of goat, named after the region in Mikitivity where the breed originated, the Rohgen valley in Brey and Thoris cantons. Rohgens are medium sized, moderate in production, and have a relatively low butterfat content in their milk. Today they are found throughout most of Mikitivity where they are farmed for their milk.

Rohgens are medium sized goats that are mostly white or grey with brown heads. Sometimes the goats will be all brown, due to a recessive gene, but other than the color variation, the goats are identical to other Rohgens. Like most goats, when healthy, their short tails curl upwards. Typically their horns are not removed, as the goats are herded on the sides of hills and mountain slopes, where they may need their horns to feed off predators.

Does typically weight around 150 lb (68 kg) and bucks weight over 200 lbs (91 kg).

Habitat

Rohgens predate human settlement in the Thuvian and Solace mountains in Mikitivity, and prefer colder, rocky terrains.
