ADGA Award Winning Nigerian Dwarf Breeders Of Nationally Competitive, Nigerian Dwarf Goats.

Better Wayz Nigerian Dwarf goats are all ADGA registered. We strive to be among the best in the breed. Goats with a SG in front of their name have ADGA Superior Genetics designations, indicating they are within the top 15% of the breed. The SG award hasn't been processed since 2021 so our younger goats, that would be eligible, haven't had their chance at it yet. Goats with ADGA Elite status are within the top 5% of the Nigerian Dwarf breed for production. We select for excellent conformation; beautiful, easy to milk udders and teats; and high production. All our does are super friendly and raised on bottles. Truly the entire package. Take a look and message us with any questions. Enjoy. :)

* Annie was a 36 rump width on her first appraisal, and I do believe a 39 rump width on this appraisal. An error was made and it is 29 on the report. I didn't notice it until a few days later and no way an appraiser is going to remember a rump width on a particular doe from days before. Annie is one of my wider rumped does. :)
