Nigora
The Nigora goat is a charming and versatile breed, known for its adaptability and dual-purpose utility. Emerging in the United States as a cross between the Nigerian Dwarf and the Angora goat, Nigoras are prized for their ability to produce both quality fiber and milk. These medium-sized goats typically weigh between 65 and 80 pounds and exhibit a variety of fiber types, which can range from fine cashmere-like down to the lustrous curls of mohair.
Nigora goats are highly favored by hobby farmers and fiber enthusiasts due to their manageable size and friendly dispositions. They display a range of attractive colors and patterns, adding to their aesthetic appeal. In terms of milk production, Nigoras can yield a respectable amount of creamy, high-butterfat milk, ideal for personal dairy consumption and artisanal cheese-making. Their hardy nature makes them suitable for various climates, and their curious, social personalities make them a joy to raise. Overall, the Nigora is an excellent choice for those interested in a multipurpose goat that thrives in both fiber production and dairy uses.
