Nigerian Dwarf Goat

We chose the Nigerian Dwarf Goat for our farm because of their small size and the taste of their milk. It is the least goaty tasting of all goat milk because of their higher butterfat content.   Because of their size they are easier to handle and they eat less then a larger breed would. These goats are often even seen in town as a families milking goat and pet. Check with your own city regulations to see if you are allowed one of these on your property.  The high butterfat content in their milk also makes them a great candidate for cheese, soap and cream making.  They can produce around a quart a day, but this depends on the genetics of each goat.
