Miniature goats are small-sized goats that are often kept as pets or for small-scale farming. They typically weigh between 60 to 100 pounds and stand about 16 to 23 inches tall at the shoulder. Popular breeds include Nigerian Dwarfs and Pygmy goats, known for their friendly nature and playful behavior. These goats are relatively easy to care for and require a balanced diet of hay, grains, and fresh vegetables. They thrive in a safe, fenced area and enjoy companionship, making them social animals that often do well in pairs or groups. Miniature goats can also provide milk and companionship.
