The origin is in the "Liu Shi" (Villages such as Donghan, Chenzhuang, Pengfeng, Daqiu, etc.) and "Liu Yi" (Villages such as Shapu, Jincheng, Jiangxia, etc.) in the high mountain area. Therefore, it is called the high goat. Alpine goats have the characteristics of early maturity, strong adaptability, high slaughter meat yield, etc., and the meat is delicious and has a light odor, so it is known as the "Crown of Mutton"

Alpine goat is one of the local goat breeds in Fujian. It is native to the coastal areas of Gaoshan, Shapu and Donghan. It is a unique goat breed that migrated from the Yangtze River Basin of the original Himalayas to the high mountains. Fuqing Gaoshan Town is named after it is the distribution center for alpine goats. Alpine goats eat hundreds of grasses all year round. Their meat is fresh and tender, has no smell and is delicious. It is a famous fine breed in Fujian Province and has been included in the national fine local breeds list.
In order to protect and develop the "alpine goat" business card, Fuqing City has included the selection and optimization of "alpine goat" in the Spark Plan's "One County, One Industry, One Technology Demonstration" project in recent years. The household sideline industry has been adjusted to the leading agricultural industry, and the industrial development of "alpine goat" has been accelerated. At present, the city has established 1 "Alpine Goat" breeding base, 1 comprehensive agricultural development base, 5 "Alpine Goat" breeding farms, and 1 goat breeding farmer professional cooperative with 62 members, forming a "membership base". The new production model of "alpine goat" has radiated and promoted the goat breeding industry in Fuqing City and even inside and outside the province.
In 2011, Fuqing's "Alpine Goat" geographical indication certification mark was registered and approved by the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, becoming the first national geographical indication certification mark in Fuqing, realizing the first geographical indication certification mark in Fuqing City. Zero breakthrough.
