Nigerian Dwarf Bucks

Raising goats with informed, quality bloodlines and educated practices since early 2008 with a lifetime of animal husbanrdy experience and dedication to learning all one can know about the breeds they raise!

About the Breed:

The Nigerian Dwarf is a miniature dairy goat of West African origin.  They do not require as much space or feed as their larger dairy goat counterparts 
and their gentle and friendly personalities make them good companion pets. The milk is also higher in butterfat and has a sweeter taste.

Nigerian Dwarfs are considered a recovery breed

by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. 

A Nigerian Dwarf doe can produce a surprising amount of sweet milk for her small size 
- up to two quarts per day or more.

In addition, Nigerian Dwarf milk is higher in butterfat 
(6-10%) and higher in protein than milk from most dairy goat breeds.

They have calm, even temperament.

Dwarf goats breed year round. Nigerian Dwarfs are a hearty breed with few kidding problems. Dwarfs does can have several kids at a time, 3 and 4 being common with some quintuplet births occurring.
