“The Miniature Dairy Goat Association was established in 1996 to recognize and provide registry services for breeders who have been raising Miniature Dairy Goats produced by crossing purebred standard dairy goats and Nigerian Dwarf goats. The progeny of the first generation, as well as their descendants, have demonstrated consistency of size, type and dairy conformation. This uniformity, and the belief that mid-sized dairy goats represents a needed resource in the goat industry, have formed the foundation of the Miniature Dairy Goat breeds as well as the Miniature Dairy Goat Association”. courtesy MDGA
