MIni Alpine – Cabochon Farm

Fable’s Quads – Mini Alpine’s

Posted on July 3, 2022 by admin

“Fable’s Fabulous Four” get the award for the most colorful litter of the year. Each of these boys has a personality as distinct as their coloring. Fable (aka Trouble) is quite small for a Mini Alpine and these kids are 75% Nigerian so are great candidates as herd sires for a MIni Alpine herd looking for quality genetcis to bring their size down.

Fable is a beautiful doe with a stunning udder and high milk production. She has everything you want in a MIni Alpine with a proven pedigree to back her up. Fable’s dam is Carl B’s RP Novel *M VEEE 90 and her sire is Cabochon DJ Casanova *B out of Liberty Star Acres Annabelle 2*M who has the longevity we look for, scoring Ex 90 for the third time at 8 years old. Casanova has already proven his abiltiy to sire daughters with outstanding production and excellent conformation. He is sire to SG Cabochon CN Whatchamacallit 2*M “Libby” VEEV 90 who is a 1,200 pound milker in our herd and he has several daughters in other herds as well.

The kids’ sire, Cabochon SIG Marco Polo AI *B, excels in general appearance and dairy character. Marco’s dam, Cabochon Amelia 3*M VEEE 91, is a beautiful doe with beautiful conformation and excellent production milking more than 1,100 pounds in her third lactation.

Marco is sired by the 2015 ADGA Spotlight Sale Nigerian Dwarf Buck, Heaven’s Hollow Sig Sauer. Sig Sauer’s dam, SGCH Wyojem Wendy Kiki (EEEE 91), is a Superior Genetics Grand Champion who has many outstanding accomplishments including:
-2012 National Reserve Best Udder
-2013 National Champion Nigerian Dwarf
-2014 Top Ten Milk Production
-LA of EEEE 91 at 8 years old

We will make the twp best bucklings availalbe as MDGA registered Mini Alpine herd sires and the others will be available as pets.

Lady Slipper’s Mini Alpine Twins

Posted on July 5, 2021 by admin

Lady Slipper freshened with buck/doe twins on May 19th, just a few hours after her sister, Lilac. It was fun having them freshen on the same day. The kids are second generation Mini Alpines and will be registered with the Miniature Dairy Goat Association (MDGA). We are sure the doeling will excel as a home milker and potentially a show goat as well. Lady Slipper is easy to hand milk and and a joy to have around the barn.

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.

Penelope’s Quadruplets

Posted on February 17, 2020October 10, 2020 by admin

Penelope delivered an adorably matched set of Mini Alpine quadruplets on February 15th – 2 does, 2 bucks. Just like last year, Penelope waited until Kati could be with her before delivering. I kept an eye on her most of the night and all morning while she pawed and paced but refused to deliver. Once Kati returned from her violin lesson and checked in on Penelope, it was less than 10 minutes before baby number one was on the ground. Was there ever a stronger bond between a girl and her goat?

Our Mini Alpine kids are registered with the Miniature Dairy Goat Association and come from parents with quality proven by Linear Appraial scores and milk test data. Their dam, Carl B’s BJ PenelopeRose *M (VEVV 89), has scores of Excellent in the all important back, rump and mammary system. Their sire, Aubrey’s Acres Phan Boy (VEE 90), delivers solid udders while reducing overall size.

Mini Alpines make wonderful homestead milk goats who can produce almost a gallon a day of rich, delicious milk – perfect for drinking fresh or making cheese and ice cream.

All four kids are available. Contact us for more information.
