MINIATURE GOATS Australian Miniature Goats are a developing breed, they are genetically small animals that incorporate four breed types which are based predominately on ear structure : Elf - short ear Pixie - upright ear Munchkin - folded ear Nuwby - pendulous ear They come in all coat types from short, smooth, fluffy, long and in all colours and colour patterns.

Miniature goats are affectionate, inquisitive, playful and intelligent pets.
The natural goat is a browsing animal preferring to eat plants, weeds and bushes above shoulder height.
Most of us keep them as grazing animals, so we need to keep in mind their natural preferences and supply extra minerals and a variety of treats such as: fruits, vegetables, herbs and non- poisonous branches from trees or bushes on occasion.

Goats like to be protected from the rain and as they are a herd animal they like company.

A fully fledged Australian miniature goat is 3 years old or over and has been height verified, classified and graded. Any goat under 3 years of age is referred to as miniature bred.

The Australian "foundation" grading system includes miniature goats from "D" grade through "C", "B", "A", to purebred and then onto herdbook purebred..refer to MGBAA website for further information.

At the beginning of 2005 we were introduced to Miniature Goats and were instantly smitten. We immediately started up our stud buying in 16 does with 1 buck kid at foot, unbeknown to us and while still suckling off mum, he impregnated the other 15 does and 5 months later we added 23 babies to our herd, and our FUN with miniature goats had truly begun. We love our little goats and currently run between 30 and 40 at our stud.
