Abstract. The objective of this study was to describe the structure of household's income of goat farmer and analyze the distribution of goat farmer household's income in Banjarnegara. For this analysis, Banjarnegara district was divided into three agro ecological zones on the basis of altitude, i.e. low, medium and high land. 180 goat farmers were selected using multistage sampling and data were measured using descriptive statistic and Gini Coefficient. The study concluded that goat farming as a side job contributed 29% of total household income. The income from non-goat farming remain dominating a structure of household income by 71%. There was a high inequality household income among goat farmers with Gini Coefficient of 0.562. The high level of total income inequality was due to a greater relative inequality in non-goat farming income. Since there was a relationship between farm size and income, increasing the number of goats must be actualized to the goat farmers with no other livelihood. This would be able to reduce inequality of total income of goat farmers.Key words: income structure, inequality, gini coefficient Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan menggambarkan struktur pendapatan rumah tangga peternak kambing dan menganalisa distribusi pendapatan rumah tangga peternak kambing di Banjarnegara. Dari hasil analisa, kabupaten Banjarnegara terbagi menjadi tiga wilayah agro ekologi berdasarkan ketinggian yaitu dataran rendah, sedang dan tinggi. 180 peternak kambing dipilih secara multistage sampling dan data diukur dengan statistic deskriptif dan koefisien Gini. Disimpulkan bahwa peternak kambing sebagai pekerjaan sampingan menyumbang 29% dari total pendapatan rumah tangga. Pendapatan di luar beternak kambing tetap mendominasi struktur pendapatan rumah tangga sebesar 71%. Ada ketidakrataan pendapatan yang tinggi karena besarnya ketidaksamaan relatif dalam pendapatan diantara peternak kambing dengan koefisien gini sebesar 0.562. Tingginya ketidaksamaan total pendapatan disebabkan karena ketidaksamaan pendapatan relatif pada pendapatan di luar beternak kambing. Karena adanya hubungan antara jumlah hewan ternak dan pendapatan, maka untuk jumlah kambing perlu ditingkatkan bagi peternak yang tidak mempunyai penghasilan lain. Hal ini akan dapat mengurangi ketidaksamaan total pendapatan peternak kambing.
