Description:
The Mini-Alpine is a perceptive, beautifully hardy creature that adapts to any environment and flourishes there while retaining high health and top-notch productivity. It has a tidy appearance due to its straight or slightly disheveled face and its small, erect ears. Thanks to the introduction of the Nigerian gene, the tiny Alpine has a variety of distinctive color patterns.
Behavior:
Tiny Alpines are recognized for possessing serene, devoted, and kind dispositions. They are ideal pets because they are quite gregarious and get along well with family. Be advised that while these goats are known for being easy to manage, they can occasionally be stubborn, so watch out for that in your little Alpines!
Benefits/Uses:
Tiny Alpines are ideal homestead milk goats because they produce an average of 3/4 gallon of sweet, rich milk each day while using just approximately a third of the amount of food that a full-sized goat consumes. They are highly sought after by homesteaders who seek fresh milk and cheese since they actually blend the greatest qualities of the Alpine and Nigerian Dwarf breeds.
Origin/History:
In 1903, Alpine goats brought from Switzerland were crossed with domestic goats to create the British Alpine breed. In 1958, the first British Alpines were transported to Australia, although there weren’t many due to quarantine rules.
