Any guesses on the breed of this goat? May be a combination I guess Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Goat Forum mobile app
I think I can see traits of both. Thanks for your input. I just took her in on a trade. I don't normally deal with the small ones Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Goat Forum mobile app
If they are not registered I always assume a mix. It seems most people don't really know the difference and tend to us the term "pygmy" as generic dwarf goat as both came from the same area at one time. They split into the true pygmy which was the meat goat - shorter legs and stockier build and the Nigerian Dwarfs which are more refined, longer legs and great milk producers.
Usually I see one breed or the other, but this goat really does look like a mix of Nigerian Dwarf and Pygmy. Sent from my VS501 using Goat Forum mobile app
So, just call her a West African Dwarf since that is the progenitor of both breeds. Sent from my LGL34C using Goat Forum mobile app
