| nigerian pygmy goats care: Pigmy Goat Care Noah Leo, 2021-09-10 Pygmy goats are descendants of West African Dwarf goats. They were added to America in the Nineteen Thirties and 1960s and people began breeding them as associate animals. Through this breeding of West African goats, the American Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarf have been born. American Pygmies are stocky, sturdy goats in miniature, at the same time as Nigerian Dwarf goats are larger than miniature dairy goats. In some areas, American Pygmies and Nigerian Dwarfs are considered to be identical breeds of goat, falling under the umbrella of Pygmy goats. |
