African Pigmy Goats are very small in size, averaging 15-20 inches tall at the shoulder. They provide small amounts of high quality milk but are considered a meat goat. Bucks are taller than does. The pygmy is small, cobby and compact and is not fine-boned like the dairy breeds or Nigerian Dwarfs. The head is dished-shape with medium-sized erect ears. They occur in a variety of colors, but most are grizzled colored. Muzzle, forehead, socks and dorsal stripes are all darker than the body and are shades of black or brown. This is one of the varieties of African Dwarf Goats, and it is very rare.
