Depends what you’re looking for, the Saanen and boer crosses seem to be thicker, but they get just as tall as the pure Alpine. I can pretty much point out when they are born which ones are gonna be thicker and which ones will be on the thinner side like a Alpine.

Between Mar 1st and May 1st, I always encourage my customers to pick them up before their 12 weeks old that way they can bottle feed them, and those babies will be imprinted on you.

Well it’s that time of year again, breeding season. I am taking reservations for my 2026 pack goat babies. All babies parents are on site. Beautiful tall pure Alpine. I have 2 spots for 97% pure American Alpine 3% laMancha,. I have 2 spots for 56% Alpine, 19% Saanen, 19%Boer, 6% Oberhasli. I...
