Our Standard and Mini Alpine Goats

The alpine goat is a medium to large dairy breed with a friendly and curious personality. This breed has a long body with a graceful appearance. The udder is large and well attached that produces a large quantity of milk with an average of 3.3% fat. The coat can be short to medium in length and a light beard often present. An alpine's neck usually has wattles, not in all cases. If left intact, the horns sweep upward and backwards.
The alpine goat comes in a variety of colors. And depending on type, it can come in a variety of sizes and weights. We offer both ADGA (American Dairy Goat Association) Standard Alpines and MDGA (Miniature Dairy Goat Association) Miniature Alpines. Standards can weigh between 135-170 pounds and a height of 30-32 inches. Miniatures can weigh between 70-100 pounds and a height of 23-32 inches, but it is to note these ranges depend on the generation (ex F2 versus F6).
The alpine goat can also be a very useful goat. Not only great milk producers, they can be worked on the farm or out on an adventure. A good tempered and trained buck or wether can pack out gear or pull/drive a load.
Being a larger breed, the alpine goat can also be used for meat and hide production. The leather is soft and supple, and meat is delicious. A wether is often raised for meat production. One can process a buck, but it is best to wait when out of rut to not throw off the taste in meat.

All goats are annually tested for CAE, CL and Johne's Disease. We keep a clean tested herd to ensure healthy goats as well as healthy milk and meats.

"And you will have enough goats' milk for yourself, your family and your servant girls" Proverbs 27:27 NLT
