Although virtually all come naturally horned, virtually all stock breeder dehorn the children at the immature age. A bit of Nigerians keep around blue eyes, which occurs as dominant trait in goats.

Their milk has the higher butterfat content than milk from good-sized dairy farm goats, making Nigerian milk fantabulous for cheese and soap making.
Nigerians come gentle & easy trainable. This, along using their little size & colorful appearance, makes the children popular when pets.
