The Goat Fighting Festival is also an opportunity for ethnic groups such as Tay, Mong, Dao, Kinh in the villages to show their solidarity when they live together in the same area, the same strip of land.

Fighting goats are a strong breed of male goats with big legs, big heads, long horns, and thick black hair.

Fighting goats are raised on the mountains continuously and fed a variety of forest leaves to ensure their health and the development of their horns.

As the day of the competition approaches, the fighting goats are kept in separate pens and given special care to give them a chance to win. Most villages participate in the goat fights.

It is worth noting that unlike buffalo or bull fighting festivals, at the end of the festival, the goat "fighters" are not only not slaughtered but, on the contrary, continue to be carefully cared for by the goat owners, their wounds bandaged before being released back to their "big family".

The goat fighting festival takes place in a tense and fierce manner. Many beautiful, dangerous and surprising moves make both locals and tourists praise. Therefore, the goat fighting festival often brings refreshing, joyful and healthy moments.

The goats with long, sharp horns clashed against each other, creating a clanging sound after each fierce fight, making the audience cheer endlessly.

According to the people living in the highlands, the goat fighting festival is associated with spiritual significance to bring luck to the breeders, as well as reflecting the beauty and cultural customs of the people living in the highlands. This activity is also an interesting playground for ethnic people to show solidarity.

Organizing this contest not only creates a meaningful playground for farmers, but also helps farmers exchange experiences, learn and practice farming techniques. At the same time, it contributes to spreading and affirming the brand of Lam Binh organic mountain goat, which is one of the specialty livestock with advantages in the direction of commodity production associated with tourism in the district.
