Meet Our Nigerian Dwarf Goats

Hobby Knob Farm, Nigerian Dwarf Goats

I have had such fun learning to milk my neighbor's goats that I decided to get 2 of my own. Feeling like I have enough large animals I decided to get the mini's of the dairy goat world or Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats. I have always loved these little goats and am wondering now why I didn't do this sooner.

These goats would be ideal for the backyard/urban farmer or anyone that does not want to be overwhelmed with milk (like me).So next year, if I am ready, I will have some cute little Nigerian Dwarf kids and milk for my own cheese! You can purchase full sized registered French Alpines from my friend at Mountain Star Farm. My goats came from Heather Lane Farms here in Asheville. You can learn more about these and other dairy goats at the American Dairy Goat Association and Piedmont Dairy Goat Association websites. Having your own fresh milk and making your own fresh cheese is just another step toward food independence.
