My final stop in Colorado was the Stutz Family in LaPorte, Colorado.  Here are some of my favorite pics of the Nigerians, just after they were bottle-fed.

Nigerian Dwarfs are one of two new breeds recently recognized by ADGA.  Since their acceptance, they have risen to be the 2nd most popular breed in ADGA.

Nigerians are the smallest dairy breed and must be 22″ at the withers or shorter.  They are the only miniature breed of goat recognized by ADGA.

Some Nigerian’s have blue eyes, a trait that is unique to their breed.  Nigerian’s can come in any color known to goats and are frequently spotted

Nigerian Dwarfs originate in West Africa, where they are called “West African Dwarfs”

Because of their size, color patterns and demeanor, Nigerian Dwarfs are very popular as 4-H and FFA animals, as well as family pets

Thank you to the Stutz Family for sharing your goats with us!  You can find more information about Nigerian Dwarfs by visiting the American Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Association’s website
