Hi Laura,
I think you are thinking about "Kinder" goats. They are a cross between Nubian and Pygmy. I hear they are nice to handle, and good milkers. I don't have any personal experience with them, but know a couple of people that have them and like them.
Have fun with your homestead adventure!

I know Nubians are good for meat as well as milk but I had heard of a smaller breed that are more managable and don't try to "escape" as much. They are not Pygmy but something in between the two.
