ALPINE GOATS
The first French Alpines were imported to the United States in 1922 from France. There were 18 does and 3 bucks. All purebred Alpines in the US are the descendants from this original group.
American Alpines are the result of crossbreeding French Alpines. As a result of all the crossbreeding, American Alpines has created one of the largest genetic pools of any goat breed in America. Today’s American Alpines are setting production records and making their mark in the show ring. They are usually a larger animal than their French counterpart. They are excellent milkers producing high butterfat and protein. They are hardy, curious, and occasionally willful but this combination of traits make them very enjoyable. They can be any color combination but Toggenburg color and markings as well as an all-white color is discriminated against. They have erect ears and straight noses.
We started our Alpine herd with a Sudbury Hill buck given to us by Art Keefe of Vermont. He had successfully raised nationally competitive Alpines and was in the process of dispersing his herd. Our first Alpine was a Jesta Farm doe. As we progressed with Alpines, we bought a wonderful doe kid from Munchin Hill. She was a big, long and very dairy cou-blanc and we had many years of pleasure showing her. We later purchased 3 lovely does from the Waiilatpu herd of Kathy Evans and Susan Calahan. We recently went back to Munchin Hill and purchased two bucks of their breeding. We also have a few Alpines that are boarding with us from Christel Scuza of TCS Farms. We are excited about our breedings this year.

Sire: Roeburn’s Sedric Bruno LA 91 EEE Dam: Roeburn’s Limerick Hosanna When we decided to reevaluate our Alpine herd, we immediately thought of Cathy Mabie with her beautiful herd of purebred Alpines whom we have long admired. We are not sorry we did. When you look at the pedigree of this yearling , you can see why we like her! She is a tall, long doe with a pretty mammary who will only get better with age. Bred to: Zeus |
