BUYING NIGERIAN DWARF GOATS
When buying Dwarf goats it's important to seek out a registered breeder with one of the miniature goat or dairy associations. Only buy breeding goats registered with DNA to be sure you are getting exactly what you are paying for. We recommend disbudded or polled animals especially around small children, and check if the stud is tested particularly when buying dairy goats.
As goats are considered livestock you will need to have a PIC number (Property Identification Code) before you have goats on your property - click here to link to NSW PIC information. If you live in a more residential or built-up area you will need to check with your local Council if you are able to have livestock on your property. You really need to ensure the space you have is big enough to accommodate the goats long term - we recommend at least 1/2 acre in rural setting, more if in a built up area.
REQUIREMENTS - Sufficent space, secure fencing, a permanent shelter, PIC number, rural or semi-rural location, on-going feed and husbandry.
AWESOME PETS
We offer dexed males (wethers) as pets, generally bottle raised. Bottle babies are suitable if someone is home during the day at least for the first few weeks. It is a big commitment to take on bottle babies as you will be bottle feeding them for around 8 weeks – however rewarding for families to experience hand rearing these pets.
Introducing goats to your property at a young age means you can train them to suit your environment and lifestyle. It is also easy for new owners to pick up any change in the babies health and know exactly what they are eating in those first few months when they are bottle raised.
We only sell goats in pairs as they are herd animals and need a friend. We only offer wethers (de-sexed males) for sale as pets. They must be picked up in person by the main person responsible for their ongoing care. We do not transport baby pet wethers.
Companion goats/pets (wethered males) are $1,200 for the pair inc GST.
Each pair of baby goats come with bottles/teats and full feeding instructions, a mineral block and tube of drench. Babies are/will be registered with MGBA. Wethers are not DNA tested unless required for showing. Pick up is Monday to Friday. We may be able to accommodate a Saturday pick up, or meet you somewhere to shorten your trip, however note additional $110 fee for weekend day pick up of wethers/delivery.
Goats sold on first in basis to suitable homes. Due to current demand, we do accept 25% deposit to secure animals, however you must have your PIC number before we can take a deposit.

We cannot be responsible for the health of an animal once it has left our care, and due to strict bio-security, animals cannot return to our property once collected. A vet health check can be arranged for any stud animals (at buyer expense) prior to collection. We recomend buyers consider Elders or CGU for insurance of breeding stock.
2018 - mid 2022 we had had zero mortality among goats at our stud, and we have tested clear for CAE and Johne's disease since 2015.
