Hi, all -- I've had Nigerians for a few years now, just for milk, haven't shown although they are all from show stock. I wanted more milk, so I bought two...

I am new to mini-alpines. I joined the MDGA but was curious about TMGR. What is the preferred registry? We are also with AGS and NDGA for our Nigerians. ...
Stacey, I am with both mini registries. No difference to me either way. MDGA has changed hands a few times over the past few years but the ones now are very...
I think that both registries probably have about the same number of current members. Some do both, some do one or the other. Check out their websites, and...
Thanks for the warm welcome and congratulations on your does. In researching online, I am finding that there aren't many mini-alpine breeders. I hope you...
We are located in Idaho and have a very NICE 2nd Gen. Alpine buckling for sale - he is a Feb. 1st kid. No photos of him but his sire Scooby's Buddy and dam...

Well, after all doelings from my girls, yesterday was a nice surprise. One of my 2nd gen's had twins and one is a buckling. BUT, he's way too close to breed...

We are ready to buy a electric dehorner. Can anyone recommend one to use on the mini's? I've used them on Alpines about 20 years ago, but I'm sure they have...
Gosh I've used several kinds over the past (19) years. As long as they have the small tip on them they can be used for either breeds of goats. You just...
I don't know how others fell about it but I used the Bands for nutreing on my goats horns. She is 2 years old and her horns came of with no problem. I plan on...

Hey Linda, It does take time and I'm really wondering where I'm going to find bucks for the 5th gen. I may need to step back and not breed for a year or 2....
Meant to ask where Wilhoit is compared to the TX line of El Paso. We may need to meet at some point as you are the closet breeder to me other than OK. Suzy ......
I have a friend that is giving me her 2 Nubians. One is 10 years and the other is 7 years. I don't think the 10 year old can breed but would the 7 years old be...
Yes, the 7yr old should be able to be bred but not for too many more years. I've know of Nubians that have been bred until they were 10-11 yrs old. But the...
My oldest girl is 14 and she retired last fall. She did have a buckling a year ago when she turned 13. You have to make sure an older doe is in good condition...
