About the Book

Nigerian dwarf goats are a charming small breed of dairy goats that are highly valued for their vibrant coats, friendly personalities, and exceptional milk production. Measuring about 17 to 23.5 inches at the withers, they are small enough to be ideal for backyard gardeners or small farms. These goats often weigh between sixty and eighty pounds when they are completely matured. Qualities: - Size: As tiny goats, they are significantly smaller than ordinary dairy breeds. - Colors: They come in a variety of tones and patterns, including cream, black, white, gold, and various combinations. - Temperament: Their gentle and gregarious nature makes them simple to handle and fantastic pets. They are also quite amiable and enjoy the company of both humans and other goats. - Milk Production: Despite their diminutive size, Nigerian dwarf goats produce a large amount of milk. Their milk's high butterfat concentration (about 6-10%) makes it creamy and ideal for cheese, soap, and other dairy products. Origin and Background The Nigerian dwarf goat has a fascinating history that begins in West Africa. They were originally imported into the US from overseas around the turn of the 20th century. Previous Periods: - West African Origin: Nigerian dwarf goats originated from West African dwarf goats, a hardy breed that thrived in the region's dry climate. These goats were mostly brought to the US to feed the large cats housed in zoos. - Zoo display: They were well-liked exhibition animals at children's and petting zoos around the country due to their calm temperament and charming appearance, which quickly won over zookeepers. Development in America: - Breeding Programs: In the 1950s and 1960s, American breeders began carefully breeding these goats for dairy qualities including high butterfat content and increased milk yield. This meticulous breeding led to the Nigerian Dwarf goat's recognition as a dairy breed. - Recognition: The breed's status as a prized breed of dairy goats was cemented in the early 2000s when the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA) formally recognized it. These days, they are recognized by both the American Goat Society (AGS) and the Nigerian Dwarf Goat Association (NDGA). Cultural Impact: Nigerian dwarf goats are great for producing milk, but they have also become more and more popular as pets and show animals. They are adored by both small farmers and goat enthusiasts due to their amazing appearance, friendly nature, and small stature. With a rich history and a sizable fan base in the dairy and companion animal sectors, Nigerian dwarf goats are a versatile and charming breed. Their petite stature, amiable disposition, and superior milk quality make them an excellent option for a wide range of uses.
