They are a wonderful addition to our lives in many ways but primarily they are our source of milk. Nigerian Dwarf Goats are considered a recovering breed by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, and their numbers are growing with good reason. These goats only get to be about the size of large Golden Retrievers and they have an extremely sweet nature. We have raised Nigerian Dwarf goats for five years.
