Thank You!
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped in the creation of
this very first issue of DWARF and MINI. No doubt, everyone has taken time away
from other pursuits to prepare their articles. I appreciate the sacrifice everyone has
willingly made to bring this magazine to reality.
I have been so impressed with the experience and professionalism behind these
articles. The enthusiasm has been tremendous, both from our contributors and from
those who have watched and waited for this first issue to be published.
Looking back at the start of this venture just a few short weeks ago, I am amazed.
There has been so much interest in a magazine devoted to the Nigerian Dwarf and
Miniature Dairy goat breeds. One only has to look at the tremendous growth in
numbers of registered animals as well as owners to know that we have an active
community of diverse people with many different goals and needs but who share a
common bond in the love of these little dairy goats. My goal is that we all are brought
together to share and learn from each other so we can be the best owners, the best
breeders, the best breed stewards possible.
So whether you are just now considering adding a dwarf or mini to your life or you
have raised Nigerian Dwarfs for decades, please join us as we celebrate everything that
makes these little goats so special.
Thank you for being part of this first issue! ---Darla O’Neill, Editor
