I really want a goat, but I'm having some trouble choosing a certain breed of goat.
I want a goat that is NOT loud, friendly, and a good milker.
MILK: (range) 1-2 quarts and up to a gallon.
Thank You!!!
 
My two nigerian does give 2 pints a piece per day. I should mention mine are 25% nubian but full niggies wouldnt give much less. Typically niggies teats are small therefore you cant use normal milking machines so that would be a problem if your against doing it the old fashioned way. Their milk is way creamier than other breeds too. They are sweet and typically quiet unless they are in heat. I would highly recomend that breed!🐐

Nubians are pretty loud and not easy to control and keep contained due to their size. They are also quite fragile healthwise.

We have 2 Nigerian Dwarfs. Pregnant now, but from a good milking line. They are quiet until they see us then they act like toddlers that need attention. lol I’m looking forward to trying the milk!
