Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats
Bred for temperament, health, conformation, and production.
The Nigerian Dwarf
” The Nigerian Dwarf is a miniature breed of dairy goat originating in West Africa and developed in the United States. The balanced proportions of the Nigerian Dwarf give it the appearance of the larger breeds of dairy goats, but does stand no more than 22.5″ and bucks no more than 23.5″. Any color or combination of colors is acceptable. The medium length ears are erect and alert. The face is either straight or dished, and the hair is short and fine.
The Nigerian Dwarf is the only miniature dairy goat breed registered by the American Dairy Goat Association. Although a small goat, the Nigerian Dwarf doe produces a proportionate quantity of milk with high butterfat.”
