From a customer: Our little Betsy (the [alpine] we bought from you) is doing great-she looks small , but actually weighs as much as the other nubian doeling who is 6 weeks older. Betsy is just dainty and petite looking-her coat is very shiny, and she is
growing great! We entered her in an online goat show. Honestly I think she looks
way better than the others, but of course I am biased. You can see her picture
at www.goatshows.com. She is listed in the junior does in the Alpine category
and she is the second one listed...

Note: I did check out that website and it looks like a fun way to "show" your goats without hauling them to a show! And Betsy looks fantastic! Its always wonderful to see the animals I sell being well cared for, fat and sassy. - kbh

Four years old and bossy! Hogs all the food. Bites ears to get her way (not mine, thankfully). However, she is obedient and patient on the milking stand . Never puts her foot in the bucket. Allows the grandkids to milk her with ease. So I forgive her.

She caught my eye at auction right away as a kid. A bad disbudding job left her with one curled horn like a teacup handle... but what beautiful long lines she had! And her pedigree is what sold her: she was a grand daughter of PBH Jean Luc (a prized tri-banded buck I owned and who was lost in our barnfire many years ago).

a nice deep body, high udder, long straight back and clean crisp color with those flashy black stockings. She is a pretty goat.

a more rounded escutcheon with wide-set, straight back legs, good sized handmilking teats on a well suspended udder.

Suzette had twins for me this spring and produced a buck that I am going to grow out and use on a few does this fall. He is a real beauty! Long and tall with elegant lines and flashy coloration like his mama. His sire is Beniesoit Tate Tristan. See the white horseshoe on his side? His name is HMFF Coup de Chance (french for stroke of luck) Look for Chance's kids next spring!

IF you are looking for a French Alpine buck , I still have two of them for sale! (see the last two months newsletters for details and photos). I would consider a trade for hay or another French Alpine that is unrelated to mine. $125 each registerable and disbudded.
