Trauffer Capra Grigia

ProSpecieRara compares the gray of the Capra Grigia to that of broken Calanca granite. This old and traditional goat breed originates from the Calanca region and other Alpine valleys in Ticino. It has particularly strong horns and is a typical mountain goat with its hard hooves and good musculature.

In the past, almost every region of Switzerland had its own breeds of farm animals. Many of these breeds became extinct around and after the World Wars. Among the animal breeds that have survived, several are still endangered today. Since 1982, they have been supported by the ProSpecieRara Foundation along with many dedicated animal keepers. The traditional company Trauffer Wooden Toys has dedicated a meticulously handcrafted collection to these endangered animals in collaboration with ProSpecieRara, aiming to raise awareness of the rare breeds. Additionally, 50 cents from the proceeds of each wooden animal goes towards ProSpecieRara projects for endangered animals.
