The cost of an Alpine goat varies. The cost depends on the location purchased, and the investment of the breeder in the animal.
The weight of a British Alpine goat is usually around 125 pounds. However, it depends on the gender of the goat and if the goat is overweight or pregnant.
Alpine goats are a part of the dairy breed. They can be used for milk, to make cheese, soap, and any other product that uses milk. Alpines can also be used for meat, but they aren't as useful in that area because they don't have as much meat as a meat goat.
If you go to the ADGA website it will tell you how many are registered. There is no way possible to tell how many more there are.
Some breeds include but are not limited to: Alpine, LaMancha, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, Toggenburg, Fainting goats, Angora, Cashmere, Pygmy and mini breeds.
We have several goats of all different breeds in my opinion Alpines are the better milkers.. I have had high producing Toggs but Alpines have always been better.. with Saanens following close at their heals..
LaMancha, Nubian, Saanen, Toggenberg, Oberhasli and Alpine. These are the dairy breeds. I have no idea of the others. There are more.
Alpine plants provide food for a variety of herbivores, including mountain goats, marmots, and insects. These plants are an important food source for animals that inhabit high-altitude environments.
Only in Zoos. They are native to Italy and Switzerland and are called Alpine Chamois. Gina has been photographed with these High Italians! As Goats go they are good looking and adaptable to petting zoos, etc. not a Baaaad idea.
Breeding goats depends on the breed of goat and where you live. Dairy goats (Saanen, Oberhasli, Alpine, etc) are able to be bred in the fall. They can take from late August to probably December. Other goats, like meat goats can be bred year round, depending on how cool the climate is. Good luck!
