Meet Our African Pygmy Goats
African Pygmy Goats are small in size growing only to around 20 inches in height. They come in a large amount of colourations and patterns ranging from white, brown, grey and black. Keeping these as pets is a popular choice due to their playful and calm nature. Pygmy Goats don't shed their horns, as the goat ages they will progressively earn new rings on their horns, this is how you can tell the age of the individual
