Nigerian Dwarf Goats
These little goats are truly remarkable animals. Despite their small stature they can produce a large amount of milk. As much as two quarts per day or more! Their milk is higher in butter fat than most dairy breeds (normally around 6% but up to 10%.)  Besides drinking, the milk can be used for many purposes from soaps to delicious cheeses. 

Nigerian dwarf goats take up less space and consume less food than larger breeds. This makes them ideal for small farms or  properties. They are also love to forage making them very effective "green" brush and weed clearers. If you are looking for a lawn mower get a sheep, if you need a brush wacker get a goat! 

Nigerian dwarf goats have been gaining popularity not just for their usefulness. One look at these little guys and it's hard not to get hooked. They come in just about any coat color/ pattern you can imagine and can even have pretty blue eyes! They are also typically docile making them an excellent choice for families with children. Nigerian dwarfs are an approved dairy goat by the USDA so they also can be used for FFA and 4H.

We love these little goats! Whether you want cute little companions or quality milk producers, we think you will love them too.

Things to know
With so many great traits it's hard to imagine not wanting a cute little goat right?  Well here are some things to consider before buying a goat.

• Goats are heard animals and other species of animals are just not the same as another goat pal. Single goats are not happy goats, and can become depressed. Depression can lead to health problems and even death. We want the best for our customers and their new animals. We will NOT sell
  single goats to homes that do not have another goat companion. If numbers are an issue get a companion wether! All the fun with none of the hormones.

• Goats need secure fencing and living quarters! Goats are intelligent, when they are bored or do not have enough space they can be down right escape artists. Goats love to climb on things and they can jump high for their size. Unstable or unsuitable fencing can quickly turn you dreams of goat ownership in to a nightmare. Tying is also not at option. Tethered goats are not happy goats. We will NOT sell goats with the intent of keeping them tethered. Goats need shelter from harsh elements (like most animals.) Goats do not like to be wet or cold. Open fields with no shelter are not a suitable environment.
• Bucks smell. There are no two ways about it. If you own bucks, you will smell them and sometimes smell like them! An excellent alternative to keeping bucks (if you don't plan to breed) are wethers. Wethers are neutered males. They do not have the buck odor, as well they are easier to handle and have tons of personality.
• As with keeping any livestock, goats have routine care needs. From vaccines to good quality diets they cost money and time. For more information on routine goat care we are putting together a herd care page which will be available soon.
