Registered American Alpine dairy goats for sale, reasonably priced.

Who We Are We are a small (7 does as of this update) goat breeding farm located in the foothills of the lush southern Willamette Valley of western Oregon, near Eugene. We breed exclusively American Dairy Goat Association registered Alpines and have been in business since 1979.

At Greene Herb, our aim is breed sound, productive animals that will adapt well to any good management program.  We don't strive for Top Ten does or National Champions, but we don't charge fancy prices, either.  Our does have fared very well in tough Northwest show competition, and are capable of milking through for two or more years on grass hay, pasture/browse and 3-6# of grain per day, depending on production.  Our management program is probably similar to yours.

In 1986, we started on a pasteurized milk/heat treated colostrum program for raising kids, and kids are strong, growthy and resistant to disease. Today we raise doe kids mostly on pasteurized milk, although due to job constraints, an occasional doe kid manages to "slip through the cracks", and we do dam-raise bucks and wethers, unless they are ordered in advance.  Boer cross doelings are all dam-raised.  Our does are all healthy, with clean joints and have shown no signs of CAEV arthritis for many, many years.

We don't feed huge amounts of grain or alfalfa, and we milk only twice a day, so production is in the 2,000 to 2,600 pound range for mature does, with an occasional "star" of 3,000 lbs.   They are reliable milkers-- many are expected to milk through for two years or more.  We milk both by hand and by machine.

We had the herd linear appraised in 2004, with results in the upper 80's.

We don't pamper our goats.  They live outside in all kinds of weather, with a large loafing shed for protection from the copious Oregon rain.  All the does are housed together and expected to get along-- we don't have the room or the patience to put up with separate quarters. We vaccinate for CD and tetanus-- the only supplementation besides free choice salt and trace minerals consists of regular BoSe injections.  In fifteen years of breeding, with a herd averaging 10-15 milking does, we've seldom had to  treat for mastitis.

Registered Alpine kid prices range from $175 to $275.  We'd prefer you pick them up in person when they are weaned at 3 to 4 months, but we can make arrangements to ship 5 to 6 week-old kids, at your expense (Eugene airport has direct flights to many major cities).  A deposit of $100 will hold your choice, but please select a second choice in case the doe doesn't cooperate.  Milking does are $250 and up.  Buck kids are guaranteed to settle does by one year of age, and we won't offer buck kids out of first fresheners.  We offer discounts to 4-H/FFA and on multiple purchases.  Boer crosses are sold by weight.
