Mini Alpines - central Va.

[elizwlsn]

I have 3 very well bred mini Alpines for sale. 1 doeling and 2 bucklings. The mother is a ADGA registered French Alpine and has been shown and the father is a AGS registered ND so these guys can be registered with TMGR if you desired to do so.

I am asking $125 for the doeling and $75 for the bucklings. All have been disbudded and mother was tested in Nov. of 2008 for CAE, Cl, Johnes, Brucellosis and TB and all were neg.

The first picture is the doeling. She has blue eyes. The second is a buckling with dark eyes and I wasn't able to upload a pic of the second buckling but he has blue eyes too and is all black.

Milk production should be great.

Oh, that buckling is handsome! I'd take him in a heartbeat if you were closer!

Oh, I love that little doe! How big do mini alpines get? Didn't know they came in mini

Wish I was closer!

Dang that buck is a cutie pie. I wonder if he would wear jeans, t-shirt and hat and slip pass the "animal detectors" at Delta? hmmmmm He looks like he wants to come live in Southern Oregon. hehehehe

He is handsome and I would love to show him but time doesn't allow. Too much to do as usual.

They are a cross between the Nigerian Dwarf and an Alpine so about somewhere in the middle for size. They milk about 1/2 to 2/3 as much as the full sized does. They are great for small land holders like myself who don't need a gal plus of milk a day but want more than a few cups.

I think with the economy being what it is more and more people will be looking to find ways to save money and goats are great as they eat shrubs, weeds and tree leaves etc. with some grain and hay but mostly they can eat things other animals don't want.

Just wanted to say they are adorable!

but mostly they can eat things other animals don't want.

I wish my goats would learn from your goats -- mine are extremely picky eaters
