Make sure you take a look at these little guys. They’re super cute with tonnes of personality. If they can’t make you smile nothing will. The Hamilton Agricultural Show are pleased to welcome back Miniature Goats for the 2024 Show.
On show this year will be Australian Miniatures, Nigerian Dwarf and Pygmy goats. Come along and see who takes out Best of Breed and Best in Show.
These little guys are perfect for a pet and have many other uses. They are great for weed control including blackberry, hawthorn, and gorse. Although they will demolish your fruit trees and vegetable garden as well, so good fences are essential.
The Nigerian Dwarf goats are great mini milkers and can give you an excellent return for such a small
animal. Not just for milk but cheese, yogurt and soap making.
Miniature goats run on land that is often steep, with limited access, and are useful for weed
management or overgrown bush areas.
The miniature goats have very mellow temperament and are readily trained for handling and safe
interacting with children. The miniature goats are hardy animals with few health issues and come in a variety of colours.
Miniature goats have been part of the Hamilton Agricultural Show program since 2017 and Hamilton
had the first Miniature Goat show held in Tasmania.
This year will see some of Tasmania’s Premium Breeders displaying their stock and available to
answer your questions.
Dairy Goats Society – Tasmanian Branch
Members of The Dairy Goat Society of Australia Tasmanian Branch will be attending the Hamilton Show with some animals and information on display. They’ll be on hand to answer any questions anyone has.
