Once you have made the decision that Nigerian Dwarf Goats are right for you its then about making sure you are ready. If you still aren’t sure you can head over to our education page which will constantly be updated with lots of goodness, their are free resources as well as paid courses for those that want to delve deeper. While yes Nigerian Dwarf Goats from a professional registered breeder like ourself are do hold a premium price tag, the benefits are you get what you pay for, in particular height is important, for ND’s you only need a 1.2 metre dog fence to keep them in. We constantly hear stories of people who bought cheap goats from a backyard cowboy who told them they were minature goats but they grew up to be standard size goats and now its a nightmare as they are a family pet but constantly break out and cause havic. Our goats are way to short and fat for that and as long as they have a shelter which protects them from the elements, food, clean water and their minerals they are quite happy in their safe space.

We recommend rotational grazing which means placing their shelter in between 2 paddocks so you can give a paddock a rest every 3 to 4 weeks. This is the number one thing you can do to keep your herd healthy. For boundary fencing we recommend 1.2 metre 13 strand dog fencing, we also a put two barb wire above and one below to protect from wild dogs. Internal fencing to help with rotations can be electric fencing but we do not recommend netting as we have almost lost goats who got their head stuck.

Most questions around this can be answered by just giving us a call or a message on socials, contact details are at the bottom of the website.

NOTE: We will be interrogating you to make sure you are the right for for our babies. One important thing to know is goats are classified as livestock so although they create wonderful pets we recommend an acre (minimum half an acre) but you will need to check the zoning laws of your particular council
