Goats are one of the earliest domesticated animals on record. Like every animal goats have three basic
needs: Food, Water, and Shelter. These needs are obviously determined by the size and the type of life style they
live.Goats are very affectionate. They make wonderful family pets and companions for other livestock. Because of Nigerian's small size and their lovable temporment they make great animal projects for young childern in 4-H and FFA. They are very social animals and need a companion (another goat or barn yard animal) or you will be dealing with an escapee on a regular basis.
