Contact me for information regarding goats for sale. INFORMATION ABOUT THE NIGERIAN DWARF GOAT - CHARACTERISTICS: The Nigerian Dwarf goat is a miniature dairy goat breed of West African ancestry. Nigerian Dwarf goats are extremely popular due to their easy maintenance, small stature, and their sweet personalities. Nigerian Dwarf goats are gentle and easily trainable. This, along with their small size and colorful appearance, makes them popular as pets. Some breeders bottle-feed kids, which makes them more bonded with humans. Others prefer to let their mothers raise them naturally. With either method, they can be very friendly and can easily be trained to walk on a leash and some enjoy coming into the house with their owners.
They come in many colors: white, black, red, cream and patterns such as buckskin (brown with a black cape over the head and neck along with other black markings) and chamoisee (similar to a Swiss alpine goat), with or without white spots. Some have white "frosting" on the ears. Both the Nigerian Dwarf Goat Association and the American Goat Society websites feature pages that include color descriptions, disqualifying features and conformation. Although most are naturally horned, most breeders disbud them at a young age (usually less than 2 weeks of age) for safety to the goat, its herd mates, and human caregivers. Some Nigerian Dwarf goats have blue eyes, which is a dominant trait in goats. MILK: Nigerian Dwarfs give a surprising quantity of milk for their size. Their production ranges from one to 8 pounds of milk per day, with an average of 2.5. Since Nigerians breed year-round, it is easy to stagger freshenings (births) in a herd so the entire herd is never dry. Thus, they are ideal milk goats for most families. Their milk has a higher butter content than milk from full-sized dairy goats, usually about 5%, but going as high as 10% at the end of a lactation. Their milk is also naturally low in cholesterol. This makes Nigerian Dwarf goat milk excellent for cheese and soap making. BREEDING:
