Pygmy
Goats The
pygmy goat originated on the continent of Africa and is sometimes known as the
African Pygmy goat. It was imported into this country at the end of the 19th
Century as a zoo animal. As its name implies its smaller than dairy goats but
produces a respectable amount of milk for its weight and food
consumption. Pygmy
goats are usually kept as pets or show animals and not for meat or milk
production. Pygmy
goats make excellent children's pets because they are easy to raise and handle
they are affectionate, cute, loveable and playful. Owning a Pygmy Goat as a pet
can also help reduce symptoms of stress, reduce blood pressure and increase your
life span. A
full-grown nanny or wether (castrated male) can be from 16 to 23 inches at the
withers and usually weigh from 40 to 70 pounds. Pygmy
goats are year round breeders so kids may be available at any time of the year.
A litter usually consists of 1-3 goats and the kids weigh from 2-4
pounds. But
