Just looking for opinions-- Dairy goats or cow?

The size difference is a big deal to me, since I will be the one doing 95% + of the daily work. In fact I was thinking of starting with minis. I definitely want something I can shove around. I love Nubians and would like the higher fat content of the milk

Nigerians actually have higher butterfat than Nubians, or so I hear. If you decide to go with minis you have to be sure you're getting them from milking lines, as many minis are used for only pets. You can also look into MiniNubians which are a pigmy(i think)and Nubian cross.

Mini-nubians are a nigerian/nubian cross and all of the breeders I have looked up do breed for milk
