Is There a Breed of Goat That's Good With Kids as in Human kids?? If so please help!! I am trying to get some goats and chickens once we move to more land.

It mostly depends on the goat, that being said LaMancha's are usually very friendly

I've never known a friendly pygmy. I'd go with Nigerians if you want a mini breed.

I'm think of getting a nigerian dwarf, a Nubian or Pygmy.

I have 15 pygmy n there all friendly I used to raise boars n Nubian n they were skittish

It's probably in how you raise them. My nubians were the most docile of any goats I owned but I also culled heavily any flighty or mean personalities. I found that the buck made a huge difference in the character of my doe herd. They passed good demeanors onto their daughters and sons more than the mother seemed to unless the mother was raising the baby then all bets were off. My boers were friendly also but I hated the horns.

We had a boer doe once, she was one of the friendliest goats I've ever met.

Plan on getting two goats, not one. They are herd animals.
