Description:
It has short, silky, glossy hair that can be any color or pattern, and it is renowned for being a graceful, elegant animal that stands between 23 and 31 inches tall. A hybrid of a regular Nubian and a Nigerian Dwarf, the Mini Nubian is a mid-sized dairy breed. They give the best of both worlds with milk that is sweet, creamy, high in butterfat, and more plentiful than that of a Nigerian dwarf. They weigh on average 100 lbs., making them lighter than full-sized goats and easier to handle and carry (bucks weighing a bit more).
Apart from their adorable floppy ears, Little Nubian Goats come in a range of hues. The chamoisee or sundgau design is reminiscent of the color of a common Little Nubian Goat.
Behavior:
Miniature Nubian goats are social and gentle creatures. They are extremely bright and naturally interested. Little Nubians can be trained to perform a variety of tasks, including lugging stacks and directing herds. They can be taught to answer calls as well.
Tiny Nubian Goats tend to get along well with other farm animals due to their amiable temperament, which is always a bonus when you own multiple animals.
Benefits/Uses:
High-quality, high-butterfat milk from Nubian goats can be consumed or used to make ice cream, yoghurt, cheese, and butter.
Origin/History:
The Mini-Nubian is a medium-sized goat with mixed Nubian and Nigerian Dwarf ancestry.

How to Care for Mini Nubian Goats?
Small Nubian goat care is similar to that of other types of goat care. Here are some strategies to take good care of and cheer up your Mini Nubian goats:
- Give them suitable shelter: Miniature Nubians need protection more than shelter. A place to stay and enough bedding should be provided. Regularly clean their shelter.
- Give enough food: Give your goats good food. Include premium hay and dairy goat grain concentrates in the meal you give them. Make sure they have access to a salt lick as well as clean, fresh water.
Have your veterinarian check on them frequently and make sure they are immunized. The ideal scenario is if you regularly deworm them as well. Then, regularly clip your goat’s hooves.
