Alpine Goats

These hardy goats have friendly personalities, they have large milk quantities, and they are easy to handle. 

This medium to large dairy goat originates in the French Alpes. The does typically stand about 30 inches and the bucks stand about 32-40 inches tall. They average about 130-170 Ibs at maturity. They are known for being docile and hardy. They come in several colors. They are known for their larger milk volumes, typically 1-2.5 gallons per day. Their milk tends to have lower butterfat (~3.5%) and protein (~2.9%), compared to other standard-sized dairy breeds. There milk is suitable for drinking and cheese making

Our current herd consists of approximately 1 doe and 1 buck. 

Our herd size is always changing as we add new members and sell some to make room for our herd improvements to reach our goals, we try to stay around 5 total goats at a time though. 

Our main goals that we are working towards right now are;

1) Larger Milk volumes in our does throughout lactation including longer lactation windows,

2) Animals with correct conformation that meet breed standards,

3) Larger powerful frames that our well suited for packing.

We are currently pulling all babies at birth and bottle feeding them with their dams milk. We will be letting our doelings mature more for first freshenings closer to two years old.

Our herd of Alpine goats has tested negative for CAE, we will test for CL and Johne's if we see a need to test. All new goats are quarantined and tested for CAE, CL, Johne's, and Q-fever before joining the rest of the herd. For more herd testing information please visit our herd testing page.

To see our planned kids, see our Breeding Schedule page. 

As our does begin to kid, we will do our best to put pictures and information on the Kid page.
