We’ve been breeding our Nigerian Dwarf goats for nearly five years now, and we couldn’t be prouder of our herd. Living harmoniously on our Karoo farm, these goats roam freely, returning to their kraal as if drawn by an invisible bond. While often mistaken for pygmy goats because of their size, Nigerian Dwarf goats possess their own unique charm and resilience. They’re hardy, gentle creatures capable of serving a slew of purposes. Originally bred for their docile nature, they’ve proven themselves as valuable assets in small-scale dairy operations, requiring minimal effort while generously providing milk. Despite their diminutive stature, they’re also well-suited for meat production and make delightful companions as pets. We have never experienced problems with parasites like ticks, partly due to our chickens cleaning up after the goats and since we found they are quite tick-resistant. Having enlisted their help in our regenerative grazing efforts and the control of invasive plants, we can vouch for their minimal impact on our delicate land. Versatile, approachable, and profitable, Nigerian Dwarf goats embody the essence of ease and adaptability in farm life. We allow nature to help us, help them – allowing them to acclimate and harden into strong animals. No fussing about.
There are almost always one or more goats available, at almost any age. We have very selective breeding lines to ensure good quality animals. Goats that do not pass our personal approval for breeding, are still very suitable as little workers, pets, friends or to help with your food chain management; they are not to be bred with if you care about breeding good NDG.
