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 annually whole herd tested, or part of a Government Accreditation Scheme.
​
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 built-up area you will need to check with your local Council if you are able to have livestock on your property. Due to their smaller stature, Nigerian Dwarf are a great option for small acerage, rural or semi-rural setting.
​
REQUIREMENTS - Sufficent space, secure fencing, a permanent shelters, PIC number, rural or semi-rural location, on-going feed and husbandry.

AWESOME PETS
​We sometimes have animals available suitable for a pet home. We only sell goats in pairs as they are herd animals and need a friend. We 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. Get in touch with us if you are looking for pets.​

​
Goats sold on first in basis to suitable homes, 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.
