There are various terrains such as oases, Gobi, mountains, wastelands, and rivers. The terrain is high in the south and north, low in the middle, with an average elevation of 2300 meters. The soil types include meadow soil, grassland soil, mountain black calcareous soil, gray calcareous soil, etc., with high nutrient content, multiple grassland types, and vast territory. This feature can be used for grazing, afforestation, fencing, and artificial grassland construction, and is more suitable for goat grazing and breeding, providing a free range of activities for pointed goats. With a large amount of goat activity, the meat is tender and has a good taste. The hydrological conditions in the Jianzha Goat Protection Area include rivers such as Angla River, Jiarang River, Anzhong River, Gabu River, and Longwu River, which flow into the Yellow River from the north and south sides respectively. The water source is abundant and the water volume is abundant. Moreover, originating from the Yellow River, it is rich in various minerals and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron, making it sweet and refreshing, soft but not hard.

This climate makes the production area rich and diverse in pasture, providing material support for the feeding of goats.
