The Nigerian Saga.......
Hello! My name is Stephen Gurney and I live on a small farm in Payne, Ohio. Over the past several years, I have had the great pleasure of owning many different types of unique animals. I have enjoyed all the animals I have owned but nothing has interested more than Nigerian Dwarf Goats. They are wonderful creatures with great personalities, beautiful looks and spectacular spirits.
Two years ago, a friend of mine told me about these wonderful little darlings and made arrangements for me to get a pair; I have been hooked ever since. I started with a cream colored, blue eyed doe, named Buttercup, and a tiny black and white buckling, named Spook. In April of 2007, I purchased a beautiful buckskin tri-color buckling, named Zeus, at the NDGA national show. I had the opportunity to bottle feed this little guy which means he is spoiled rotten. In June, Buttercup kidded a beautiful tri-color buckling, named Picasso. I was hoping for 2 blue eyed does so I could breed them to Zeus but I was very happy with Picasso.
If you are at all curious or interested in goats, I would definitely do more research on this wonderful breed. A good starting point is the Nigerian Dwarf Goat Association (NDGA). I used this site many times for care sheets, breeders and members information. I soon became a member after getting Buttercup and Spook.
