Item Description

Snowy, Black Bart, Mickey Blue Eyes and Tiny Tim came to us from a petting zoo. They are about 5 years old. All  four are neutered males, safe around little children. They will follow you everywhere!

Snowy is mostly white and the leader of the pack ( sans motorcycle.) He is the only one of the three with a beard. He is kind of a goat version of Garfield the Cat—he loves to eat!

Black Bart is mostly (you guessed it) black. He likes to follow Snowy everywhere—and you!

Mickey Blue Eyes is black and white. Unlike the other goats, he has china blue eyes!

Tiny Tim is tortoiseshell colored. He is the smallest and a sweetheart.

We have had these guys for two years and have never had to buy food for them, even during the draught, because they eat weeds and brush that other livestock won’t eat.

Just like our dog, they are trained to use an invisible fence.

Item Special Note

Pick up or delivery of goats will take place after 3/18.  These goats are currently located in San Luis Obispo County.

About Nigerian Dwarf Goats

The Nigerian Dwarf goat is a miniature breed of West African ancestry. These goats are popular as hobby goats due to their easy maintenance and small stature. They are about 2 ft tall, and weigh 60-80 pounds. They are easy to handle; even small children can be at ease with these little goats! Great animal projects for young children in 4H or FFA.

Sweet Temperament

Dwarf goats are very social creatures. They are gentle, loveable and playful. They love attention, especially from young children. Their calm, even temperaments and engaging personalities makes them popular as pets and suitable companions for all, including children, the disabled and the elderly.

Low maintenance – Pay for themselves!

Nigerian Dwarf goats are natural weed-whackers and lawn mowers. They will improve your lawn or pasture by removing brambles, undergrowth, weeds and even poison oak and poison ivy! They happily climb and clear rocky terrain that would destroy your lawnmower!

They need only a small shelter or dog house and adequate fencing to contain their small size.

…but they need a buddy.

Goats are herd animals, and cannot thrive alone. They must always have another goat as a companion. They form a lifelong friendship with their companions, and will mourn for their companion if separated. Other herd animals can be substituted such as a calf, horse, or lamb, but two goats are always better than one.
