CHARACTERISTICS
SIZE, HEIGHT, AND WEIGHT
Goats, like most farm animals, are measured in size from the ground they are standing on to the top of their back.
Their back, or shoulder area, is called their withers.
Does can grow to be between 16 and 21 inches tall while bucks can grow to be between 18 and 23 inches tall.
For weight, expect your Nigerian Dwarf goat to weigh between 60 and 80 pounds. They are definitely much smaller in size than full-size goats.
COLORS AND PATTERNS
Like larger dairy goats, these dwarf goats will have short, fine hair. There are plenty of color combinations to be found.
