Why Nigerian Dwarves?

The Nigerian Dwarf, of West African origin, is a miniature goat breed with body conformation that is structured to mirror the proportions of standard dairy goat breeds. The breed is sought after for their sweet, high-butterfat milk, small size, soft coat, and range of color and eye variation. They are a popular choice for not only farmers and ranchers but also for homesteaders and those with limited space looking for a hooved companion.

These personable animals can be very easily trained, and can demonstrate wonderful behavior both in the show ring or a pet home. Being of such moderate size and so easily handlable makes the Nigerian Dwarf dairy goat a sustainable part of any family as well as a safe and manageable 4-H projects for children with limited livestock experience. These easy-to-keep milk producers are a natural choice for fulfilling every desire from dairy production, competitive showmanship to family pets.
