The Altai Mountain goat is a breed of domestic goat bred for wool production in the Altai Republic of the Russian Federation. The breed was developed during the years from 1944 to 1982 in the Gorno-Altai Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic region of the Soviet Union, by cross-breeding the Don goat with local goats for a high wool yield.
