Looking for a 4H project animal or milk producing or meat goat:

Pygmy Goats:

As its name implies, the pygmy goat is smaller than a dairy goat, but can produce a respectable amount of milk for its weight and food consumption.

They are extremely easy to raise and handle. Breed characteristics are that they are very affectionate, cute and loveable, as well as, playful.

A full grown doe or whether ranges from 16" to 23" at the withers and they usually weight approximately 40 - 70 pounds.

Pygmy goats are year-round breeders, so kids may be available at any time of the year. Litters usually consist of 1 - 3 kids and weight 2 - 4 pounds at brith.

Tennessee Fainting Goats:

The name "Fainting" goat is a bit misleading because they do not actually faint. They have a genetic problem with relaxing muscles. When they are startled or surprised, their muscles lock up and the goat then sometimes falls over. Hence the name "Fainting" goat.

A Fainting goat averages between 17" - 25" in height and weighs between 50 - 165 pounds. They are NOT miniature goats. Their coats can be long or short. They can come in various colors, but usually they are black and white.

Fainting goats have bulgy eyes which are very unusual and which distinguish them from other breeds. They also have very long ears that stand out to the side of their heads. They are a very calm animal and make excellent pets.

Females are polyestrous, which means they come into heat year round. They come into heat every 3 weeks (17-23 days) and can remain in heat anywhere from 1 - 3 days. Gestation period is 145 - 151 days. They make excellent mothers. Twins are the norm, but they frequently have triplets.
