Marcy delivered an adorable set of buck/doe Mini Alpine twins on February 19th. Both kids are the unique Chamoise/Buckskin pattern found in Nigerians.
Mini Alpines are excellent homestead milk goats who average about 3/4 gallon of sweet, rich milk per day while eating only about a third of what a full size goat eats. They truly combine the best of the Alpine and Nigerian Dwarf breeds and are coveted by homesteaders wanting fresh milk and cheese.
Marcy received an excellent rating for both mammary and body capacity in her 2018 Linear Appraisal. This lady is all about the udder — she has an enviable rear udder arch score of 45 and rear udder height score of 40 and a fore udder attachment score of 36. (Those of you who breed for the elusive 40-40-40 udder will know how amazing this is!)
The sire, Cabochon XY Prosecco, has Superior Genetics awards on both sides of his pedigree. He has strong dairy character with great angularity and openness. Prosecco’s dam, SGCH Carl B’s OH Sweet Champagne *M (EX VEEE 91). is a permanent champion, has a Superior Gentics designation and milked more than 900 pounds last lactation. We have three Prosecco daughters in our herd and all have beautiful udders with large, easy to milk teats.
So we’re expecting this darling doe to be an exceptional milker and would be thrilled to see her go to a home that is interested in participating in MDGA virtual shows. She will be registered with the Miniature Dairy Goat Association and a first generation Mini Alpine. Her brother will be available as a companion pet.
Sire – Cabochon XY Prosecco
