So I was thinking about raising goats for their milk. I really like the Nigerian Dwarf Breed because of their size and I hear they produce a lot of milk compared to their size. My questions include:
1) What vaccines will the kids need?
2) How many Nigerian Dwarfs for a family of four? We go through about 3 gallons of milk a week, and it would also be nice to have a little left over milk for making yogurt, ice cream ect.
3) Do you have to bottle feed the kids in order for them to be friendly?
4) What is the diet of a Nigerian Dwarf Doe?
5) Should you pasterize the milk that you eat? Is there anything that could be transmitted from goat to human through the milk?
6) How often should you worm your does?
7) What do you need to do to the kids before selling? Like do you have to worm them ect.
That's all my questions for now, I am sure I may have more later though!
