Questions about buying a new goat?
Goats need basic housing to keep them dry (goats HATE to get
wet) and to protect them from wind during the winter. Do you
have predetor issues? Coyotes, bear and fox can all be predators
of goats, but the #1 killer of goats is... read more....
Your goats will need a large enough fenced in area for them to
be able to run around, jump and play. If they are not going to
be on pasture, their fenced in area should still ... read more...
Goats are browsers, they love many weeds, pasture grasses,
leaves and shrubery. There are some plants that are poisonous to
goats. Some are more poisoness than others... read more...
Are goats hard to take care of? Do goats require a lot of care? Not really so much! Other than providing clean water every day, free choice
minerals ...

ADGA Nigerian Dwarf goat breed standards state that the Nigerian Dwarf doe should be between 17" and
22.5" at the withers (thats the top of the shoulders). Nigerian Dwarf goats are the only dwarf dairy goat
breed.

Baby Goats
All baby goats are ready to go to their new homes - ON A BOTTLE -
at 2 weeks old. They will need to be fed 3x a day for at least a few weeks and then can be weaned to
2x a day. They can go to 1x a day around 8-9 weeks old. They should be bottlefed for a
minimum
of 12 weeks old.
If you are brand new to goats, I can help you out with a few sample
sizes of some common meds and items you should have on hand.
The babies are used to Pritchard nipples. I get the ones with a
washer, they don't leak in any bottle type. The ones without a
washer leak in all but a few bottle types. Here is a helpful link to
pritchard nipples, but you can find them elsewhere as well:

A NOTE ABOUT MY PRICING
I want to explain the VALUE I feel you get when
purchasing from me. If you already have goats, you probably
understand the value and that is why you are here. ;) For newcomers
to the wonderful world of goats, ... read more...
Wondering why all the different prices for different breedings?
The prices are based on many factors, including, LA
scores from the buck/doe AND their lines, DHIR records from the
buck/doe AND their
lines, age of the doe (first freshener's kids are going to be
generally cheaper, a doe with only a kidding left in her may have
their kids priced higher...etc.), predictability of the outcome of
the breeding (linebreeding, repeat breeding...etc.).
Bottle kids need a similar age, 100% bottle kid buddy (doesn't have
to be from me!). For the kid's sake, and for yours, for a pleasant
purchasing experience for everyone, PLEASE make sure you have
another similar age, 100% bottle kid buddy for any kids you get from
me. If you have dam raised kids only, the dams won't let the new kid
near them. The new kid will be so desperate for companionship, he
will keep going back and the dams will step up their agression until
they hurt the new kid. Please make sure you have another 100% bottle
buddy for them! I usually have some available. Wether companions (to girls or
bucks) are only $150 and you could easily just sell the companion after your doe
kid is well established into the herd. So much better for the kid,
so much less stress. Regular price for
wethers is $200.
For those buying JUST wethers, I do require minimum purchase of two.
:)
Actual Reservations
(with deposits) can be made for any buck kids AND/OR for pet bottle babies (wethers)
AND/OR doe kids
IF you are wanting a doe kid(s) from ANY breeding. You can still
pick the colors or ones you like the best out of the group I'll have
available. I'm just not taking doe kid reservation for specific
breedings since I end up keeping so many for myself. :) **You'll need to message me to place an actual reservation.**
For reservations you MUST message me, but it doesn't hurt to message me if you're just getting on the interest list
too.
My preferred method of contact is FB messenger, profile- Kathy Beck-Mullins
or text or email if you don't do FB abetterwaygoats@gmail.com (quicker response through FB messenger). Thanks!
