That&#039;s a good question. I don&#039;t have personal experience to answer it, since mine are all young. Any answer I give would just be a guess based on an internet search. I prefer to just share stuff that I have first hand experience with.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello! What a wonderfully informative article. Thank you for posting it. 
I understand these goats can live up to 15 years, but I am curious about how long they can breed and subsequently be milked for until they dry up permanently. I.e. How many years of their life are the goats milkable?]]></description>

Sorry for the long delay. The answer to your first question is.. it depends on where you live.  Find local facebook page to join. If you&#039;re in the country you may notice some as you drive. If you look on Craigslist and find someone selling Nigerians you might call them and ask.  Cost is relative. I never paid to breed mine. If I did and I had 2 does I would try to shoot for $50-$75 if they brought their buck over and let it hang out with the does for a week or two. But, that&#039;s just me. 

I would say the number of pregnancies are just a function of the doe and how her body holds up.  If she&#039;s carrying them and her utters aren&#039;t completely shot then all is good (for me) . others might have a different opinion. I once had a doe who had one really low udder that would scrape on things when she walked over them.  This can lead to cuts and infections.  I sold her when it became a problem.  Any other feedback on this would just be me looking things up on the internet, not personal experience.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If I just buy 2 nigerian dwarf does is it usually easy to find someone to breed with their buck  and does it cost much?  Also how many pregnancies can a doe have?]]></description>
