Why Nigerian Dwarf Goats?

At Happy Bottoms Farm, we raise ADGA registered Nigerian dwarf goats, and there's a reason these goats are so popular among dairy enthusiasts and small-scale farmers alike. Here's why people prefer Nigerian dwarf goats over other dairy breeds:

  1. Rich, Creamy Milk: Nigerian dwarf goats produce milk with a higher butterfat content (6-10%), giving it a rich, creamy texture. This makes their milk perfect for making delicious cheeses, as well as luxurious soaps and lotions.

  2. Compact and Easy to Manage: Their small size makes Nigerian dwarf goats ideal for small farms, hobby farms, or even backyard setups. They take up less space, are easier to handle, and are less likely to cause damage compared to larger breeds.

  3. Impressive Milk Production: Despite their petite size, Nigerian dwarf goats are excellent milk producers, yielding up to 2-3 quarts of milk per day. They provide a great return for their small feed requirements.

  4. Friendly and Family-Friendly: Known for their sweet, gentle nature, Nigerian dwarf goats make wonderful pets and are especially good with children. Their friendly personalities make them a joy to have around.

  5. Year-Round Breeding: Unlike many other dairy goat breeds, Nigerian dwarfs can breed year-round. This allows for greater flexibility in managing milk production and the overall herd.

  6. Low-Cost Care: Because of their small size, these goats consume less feed and are generally low-maintenance, making them a cost-effective choice for anyone looking to enjoy the benefits of goat milk without the demands of a larger breed.

 

Nigerian dwarf goats are a perfect fit for our farm and for anyone who values high-quality milk, easy handling, and a sustainable farming experience.
