I've had pet goats of a lot of breeds over the years. Pygmy, Nigeria, Fainter, Nubian, Toggenburgs and LaMachas I loved them all but I liked my Nubbies the best. I love their personalities and those floppy ears. I haven't had goats in several years now but I think I'll be getting them again either later this year or next. They are really good at keeping brush and sapling trees out of the pastures.

Well on 6/5/23 we lost our very small pony/mini Georgia she was over 30 so after we rescued her she had a wonderful life but now our little Bucky is heart broken and we are seriously considering Pygmy goat’s for him. We have heard they make wonderful pets. Bucky is so sweet he’s 16 so we have quite a few years left with him. My thinking is we need at least 2 females.. if you have any input Or ideas we would greatly appreciate your input. We have 2 barns and over 10 acres of land. Thanks Ron & Lori….

They will eat the underbrush, but they are small and it would take a lot of them to make a big impact. If you want milk you also have to watch what they eat or it will make the milk taste funny. I don't know a lot of people who use the goats for dual purpose because of that. They aren't going to clear like a meat goat or full size goat would, but I think they would still eat the under brush well!

Just a question? Why do you feed the cattle and male goats on the ground? Having grown up on a dairy farm I haven’t seen that done.
@cjfunnyfarm
@cjfunnyfarm 4 жыл бұрын
It's mostly because trying to find a feeder cows won't break and goats won't jump in is difficult. We feed range cubes which are designed to be fed on the ground. Right now we are feeding that calf sweet feed to get him used to eating grain. If we were just feeding goats they would be fed loose grain in a feeder off the ground. The cows could be fed in a trough. But the goats will jump in a trough and sleep in it. It gets full of poop and moved around. It's just easier to do it this way when I'm trying to feed different animals together!

I've never owned a Pygmy goat before but I have owned Nigerian Dwarf goats and didn't like them that much. They are pretty with cool markings but that's not enough reason to keep them. They were either very shy, very noisy or aggressive/grouchy. The last ND I had was not what I would call a good mom. She was very distant with everything. Distant with people even though we were kind and gentle and she knew we brought her yummy food and that still didn't matter to her. She was distant around other goats, even distant with her own kids. Just a strange antisocial goat.

@@cjfunnyfarm At least Finnish Landrace goats can produce milk without ever being pregnant or giving birth. They are called "virgin milkers", not every goat does it but it's totally normal within the breed. Usually they start producing in the spring when their diet changes to "stronger" feed, from dry hay to fresh grass. Milk amount varies, but the same goat WILL produce more milk after giving birth versus as a "virgin". I know a good virgin milker goat who produced ~1,5 liters per day, from spring to midwinter, and would have milked longer if she had not been dried out (her virgin buddy dried out in a week, this girl took like a month to dry😂) Finnish landrace goat is an awesome breed, I hope to have a few when I get my own little plot of land 😊 Nigerian dwarfs and also your Nubian have such cute coat patterns, but the breeds aren't available in Finland😆

In my area it’s a lack of knowledge between the two and if it’s not registered safe to assume it’s mixed. I have 4 practice goats I wanted to get before getting into completely registered expensive goats. 3 of them have blue eyes which I know they must be part Nigerian to get that and 2 are also polled. One looks very Pygmy body type but one was mixed alpine and the other two claimed full Nigerian so we will see how they develop as adults 🤷‍♀️

I'm buying a "gentleman's farm" (about 2 acres total) in the Cape Ann area of MA, and there is a two-stall mini barn that would be ideal for some Nigerian goats, with about 3/4 of an acre for the goats to roam and play. DEFINITELY going for a Nigerian breeding pair, and I wanted to ask you about the milking machine. I'm not at all adverse to hand milking future Nigerians, but the goal is to have 4-5 females, and have the machine do the milking. How often would each goat have to be milked? Also, where Nigerians are from west Africa, how do they handle cold weather? I'm along the coast north of Boston, so winters can be cold, and need to know what steps I may need to take (e.g. retro insulation in the barn, heating system, etc.). Any ideas would be much appreciated.
@cjfunnyfarm
@cjfunnyfarm 4 жыл бұрын
They actually handle cold better than heat. As long as they are out of the wind and rain in a barn they will be fine! Just out of the wet and wind. We use a Dansha Farms hand pump system. It's linked in all the descriptions of my videos. If you are going to milk several I'd recommend some kind of system. Especially to start because you have to build up the muscles in your hands for hand milking. You will still have to hand milk out the last bit of milk no system will get everything, but we've liked the Dansha system is economical compared to the bigger systems and they have one that will milk two goats at once. Goat's have to be milked every day once they don't have babies to nurse to keep up their milk. You can choose to milk once a day which is what we do or if you want more milk twice a day 12 hours apart.

I want a micro homestead on my rooftop garden. Only I drink milk, make cheese and yogurt, not made butter yet.My wife is Chinese and she hates dairy, so more for me :) I am out in southern China, and getting raw milk is thus far impossible. I have no idea yet where I could source dwarfs here. There is plenty of room for say four goats to frolic but I would definitely have to purchase feed. How many do you feel I would need to produce around a gallon per day.? I could only dream of having the land you have, but being able to source my own milk would be fantastic. Sorry if these questions sound a little dumb, but you have to start somewhere I guess :) Oh almost forgot how are they around other animals? I am a small scale Basenji breeder so would have to stagger their exercise with the goats.

I think if you need a gallon a day you might be better off with a full size breed. If you were able to find high quality genetics I would think a minimum of 3 Nigerians would get you about a gallon a day. They give about 2 -3 cups each per milking with some of the more outstanding girls giving a full quart per milking. My Nubian gave about 1/2 gallon per milking on her own as a first freshener. We use Nigerians because we don't need a ton of milk and they have the best butter fat.

I just got 2 (1 male 1 female) Nigerians. I paid $300 for the 2 of them together. So I don’t think I over or under paid for the Houston area. They’re so sweet, but still a little weary of humans. The male named Clyde is much more comfortable with me then the little girl named Bonnie.

will a pygmy goat follow you on or off trail? How obedient can they be? can a pygmy carry any weight... say 20-25lbs? My wife wants a small cute goat as a pet but I would also like to be able to use it for backpacking with my dog.

Most people go with full size dairy breeds for pack goats. My suggestion if you want a small one is to go with either a smaller (but not mini) dairy breed like a toggenberg or find a "mini alpine" which is a nigerian dwarf/alpine mix. That said, people who breed for pack goats aim for long legs and tend to use big wethers.

We raise our Nigerians for dual purpose. The milk is fantastic with no goaty taste & the meat is great. They produce so many babies that, since we only butcher the wethers, we have more than enough meat.
