Hello fellow goat owners! I currently own four goats (including two Nigerian Dwarf does, one Nubian/Pygmy cross whether and another Nubian/Pygmy doe.) as well as a bunch of other different animals on a small homestead in New Jersey, USA. I love goats and I am always looking to learn more about...

Hi y'all! After many months of prep and some luck coming my way, my family just picked up our two sweet Nigerian Dwarf does from their former owner (we had waited until they were able to be bred since they will be dairy girls). After getting them in their new digs, and letting them explore a...
