Pygmy Goat Prices (And Where to Get Them) 

If you want goats on the homestead, pygmy goats can be a surprisingly inspired choice. They produce a lot of milk for their size, are very space-efficient, and easy to handle. They also have great personalities and tend to like people, meaning they’re perfect if you want to play with your herd.

If you’re ready to commit to your own pygmy goats, you’ll need to know how much you can expect to spend, and also where to get them. I’ll give you answers to both of those questions in this article.

Pygmy Buck Prices

You won’t always need a buck because stud services among goats, including pygmy goats, are pretty common. However, if people in your neck of the woods don’t have pygmy bucks of their own, you might make a case for getting one or two for yourself.

Pygmy goat bucks will run you anywhere from $75 to $500 or even more, depending on a variety of factors.

Overall health and age, registration status, pedigree, and a proven lineage (if the particular goat has been siring healthy, closely conforming offspring). All will be factors affecting the bottom line.

Pygmy Doe Prices

Pygmy does can also be a pricey proposition and sometimes cost more than bucks.

Mature does will run anywhere from $100 to $400, possibly more, depending on whether or not they have been successfully bred, their pedigree, whether or not they are currently in milk or have been in milk before, registration, and so on.

Pygmy Kid Prices

Far and away the cheapest way to get your pygmy goats is when they are still kids. That’s because the owners or breeders will have a lot less invested in them, but their potential, such as it is, will be unknown.

Prices typically range anywhere from $40 to $250, or sometimes a lot more if buying from a seasoned breeder. Pedigree, registration status, overall health, and breeder expertise are the major determining factors in cost for kids.

Keep in mind that some breeders will only sell kids in pairs at the minimum to avoid separating siblings, so inquire before you pay!
