Alpine Dairy Goats

Three Creek Ranch has both French Alpine and American Alpine goats.  The French Alpine goat and the American Alpine goat are both distinct breeds known for their dairy production, but they exhibit differences in appearance and history. The French Alpine goat typically has a more varied color palette, ranging from black to white, and even a combination of shades. They are recognized for their sturdy build and adaptability to mountainous terrains, allowing them to thrive in diverse climates. In contrast, the American Alpine goat has a more standardized coloration, often featuring a black coat with white markings. This breed was developed in the United States, focusing on enhancing dairy qualities and hardiness. Both breeds are valued for their high milk yield, but the French Alpine is often praised for its rich flavor, while the American Alpine is favored for its consistent production.
