Mini Dairy Goat Farm

When we moved to out to the country, our goal was to be as self-sustainable as possible. We started out with chickens and lots of chickens. After we got settled with the chickens, we went back and forth between what else to add to our little farm (goats vs pigs). A few months later, we finally deciding on raising goats. The debate then became was what breed to get and what the purpose would be for them. After months of research and numerous interactions with breeders, we came to a decision. We wanted a dairy goat breed that was small enough for everyone in the family to handle and milk. We also wants a breed that had a smaller environmental footprint on our land. That lead us to a few different breeds but we finally settled on Nigerian Dwarfs.
