are very friendly and used to being handled
so they make excellent additions to any breeding herd or as that special
pet.

We had a fantastic 2007 kidding season
with some of our smallest kids to date, and a great variety of colours and
markings.
We have updated the 2007 Kids Photo
Album so you can check out some of the new arrivals.
We are not placing the does in kid in 2008 until late in the season to give all our breeding does a well earned break,
we do not expect kids until late in the year so check back then for 2008 updates.

are proud to be

The Australian Miniature Goat is a miniature
breed of goat developed over the past decade by selective
cross breeding. The Australian Miniature Goat breed standard accepts
animals up to a maximum of 63.5cm (25") at the lowest grade, although
realistically animals should not exceed 58.5cm (23"). The purebred
animal is 50.8cm (20") or smaller, as of 2006 there are no 50.8cm
(20") purebred animals in Australia. At Just Kiddin Mini
Goats our aim is to consistently breed miniature animals
of about 44-50cm (17-20").
Australian Miniature Goats are graded from D,
C, B, A, to Purebred, the higher the grade generally the smaller and
more genetically proven the animal (if registered with AMGA Type 1).
You should be aware that Australian Miniature Goats not registered
by the Australian
Miniature Goat Association Inc, (AMGA) have lower standards. Australian
Miniature Goat association (AMGA) Type 1 registered animals must meet
the strictest standards and have the lowest height limits.
At Just Kiddin Mini Goats we hand raise and disbud
all our kids to ensure they have great temperaments, love being around
people and make the finest addition to your breeding herd or fantastic
pets. We strongly believe that our animals should enjoy being handled
ensuring that there is no stress to you or your animal when it comes
to things such as general health checks, hoof trimming, worming, vaccinations
etc. We also believe that they should also be independent enough to
happily roam around the backyard or paddock on their own without constantly
needing your company. It is a fine balance, but a necessary one unless
you want to spend all your time entertaining your little friends!
We have added some general goat information to our website which will
hopefully give you plenty of information if you are looking to purchase
your first goat, add to your herd or if you already have goats and
just need a little help. We hope you find this useful. Below is a
