What is a Niergian Dwarf Goat? You may be asking yourself what is a Nigerian Dwarf goat? This is a small dairy goat that is the perfect size for the home milker and makes a perfect pet for small children.  In addition to giving you milk, these little goats also do a great job of clearing brush. What they lack in size they sure make up for it in personality and color! They have sweet, lovable, easy going personalities.  They love to play and explore so if you are going to have them as a pet make sure you have something from them to jump on. We have found that our Nigerians love both fig newton’s and animal crackers. They also love a variety of garden treats like carrots, spinach, squash, apples, berries, etc.

Fun Fact: If you breed a Nigerian Dwarf and a full size Nubian you get a Mini Nubian.

We have had numerous Nigerian buckling and doelings born on our farm.  Our small Nigerian with a touch of Kiko  doe, Cookie, is our herd queen.  She is by far the smallest but has the most attitude and is by far the most dominant female in our herd of goats. She has given us many beautiful babies over the years. This little lady will even put the big boer nanny’s in their place.

Fun Fact: Goat’s milk is the most digestible milk. Often times, people who are lactose intolerant do very well drinking goat’s milk and eating goat cheese!
