Pygmy Goats
Pygmy goats can be raised for milk, meat, mohair or simply for
showing.
These pygmy goats as the name implies are smaller than regular sized
goats, but the dairy pygmy goat provides considerable more milk relative
to its size and food consumption. Mature females deliver 4 kids to a
litter and this coupled with ease in handling have made the breeds
popular.
Registered Dwarf breeds include the
Nigerian Dwarf
and the
African Pygmy
.
Telus has used the breeds in 2009 commercials to capitalize on the
playfulness and cute-factor of the breeds to sell their mobility phones.
