Meet our Pygmy Goat, Zak! He is sweet-tempered and always ready for a treat! Pygmy goats are much easier to maintain than larger goats—since the larger ones tend to break through fences, devour roses, and sneak any grain they can find. They’re most known as being pets. Boer goats are generally for meat; Nubians, Nigerian Dwarfs and other larger goats are best for weed eating and for milk. We got Zak one Christmas but thought he was lonely (he’d come to the patio door looking for a friend). We bought Karmel (who was carmel colored as a baby) and he didn't care for her! So we recently got a little doe (girl) Boer goat. He's acclamating to her. We built their own little barn.
Mac and Snowy were very sweet (Boer breed); Kaleb and Kristof raised them for 4H and sold them. Check back to see what they do in the goat project this year!
