How to read this. The average herd holds about 5 goats: goat keeping in Lithuania is spread across many very small holdings rather than a few commercial dairies. A herd is one register herd number - a keeping location, not a farm and not an owner; keepers are not named. Counts are a snapshot of the register on 1 November 2026, not an annual average, published unchanged from ŽŪDC data.
