Alpine Dairy Goats
Echolight proudly breeds quality ADGA American Alpine dairy goats.
We hold memberships with the American Dairy Goat Association, Alpines International Club, and participate in DHIR Milk Test and Linear Appraisal.
Our breeding program goals include striving for strong, healthy does with longevity and natural parasite resistance who just MILK. Our milking schedule is rather fluid (i.e., irregular milking times from day to day) for most of the year so we can accommodate other activities, and we try not to coddle our animals. We give them the best we can of everything they need, and the rest is up to them!
We are aiming for does that can easily perform well on extended lactations, with steady volume (not extremes), and above average components. Our animals tend to be moderately sized and slow to mature (we don't push for unnaturally rapid growth). We also value strong correctly angulated front end assemblies, deep barrels, correct legs that don't turn in or out, pretty heads, and dairy character with very high, wide rear udder arches. Temperament, though often overlooked in livestock, is also important to us and we prefer easygoing, low-stress animals that are far more interested in eating than getting into trouble or picking fights. All of the animals here have combinations of most of these traits. We are also working on quality POLLED (naturally hornless) genetics here.
Our kids are bottle-raised, we minimally vaccinate, and use herbs and natural remedies wherever we can to promote good health. We are not afraid to use conventional medicine as needed. We take a preventative approach in how we handle, care for, and feed our herd. We try to be as honest and open as possible - with ourselves, and with others - about the flaws and virtues each of our animals possess.
Whole herd CAE and JOHNES NEGATIVE
Our goats are free of CL abscesses and Soremouth.

We'd love to help you get started! We offer ongoing mentorship to those that purchase their starter animals from us.

Reservation Policy:
ADGA Registered Kids
Deposits of $100 will be accepted on the 1st and 2nd buck and doe kids from each breeding unless stated otherwise. Does we plan to retain a kid from we will accept reservations on the 2nd kid only. Reservation deposits are always refundable or transferable in the event a suitable kid is not born. Deposits are NOT refundable if you choose to forfeit the kid.
All kids are started on bottles and go to their new homes disbudded, tattooed, dewormed/vaccinated (as needed) and with an ADGA registration application. Pre-reserved kids must be picked up within 14 days of birth unless other arrangements have been agreed upon in advance.
Notes On Buck Kids:
Contact us early to discuss your needs if you are looking for a herdsire, as we often tend to wether or humanely cull extra bucks early on. Intact bucks are priced the same as doe kids. We will allow buck reservations on first fresheners, but we hold the final say on whether we will allow a sale or not once we see the dam's udder.
Milking Does:
Milkers start at $550. If you are interested in a specific doe that is not currently listed for sale, contact us to discuss options.
Shipping and Transportation:
Any animals shipped or transported out of state require a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) to comply with state laws. The fee for a CVI is $50.00 and is the responsibility of the buyer.
We are willing to help arrange ground transport, or can occasionally help haul ourselves as well. Kids can be shipped via airline for approximately $400 total (crate, CVI, and airline fees). If you have any questions about options for getting an animal to you, please inquire.

AVAILABLE - We have several dam-raised Spring 2025 bucklings for sale as quality herdsires; they will be ready for pickup in November. These boys were held back for the summer to use for herding training with our Australian Shepherds and have been given all of the same care as our keeper kids. They are $450 each and we will hold them for you with a deposit of half-down. This is a great opportunity for those looking for a nice herdsire this season for a great price, with none of the time investment of raising a kid! Contact us for individual information/availability, pedigrees, etc.

Our Senior Does
"Josie"
SG Abundant Acres Max Melba 1*M
9-11 EEEE 90
Pedigree
Cou Blanc
2013 Grade Alpine (75%)
Josie is our highest producing doe despite being short for an Alpine, with multiple lactations averaging well over 3000lbs and well over 15,000lbs lifetime milk volume production. She's shown persistence in late lactation as well! She has that deep, deep dairy wedge shape we adore and is very open ribbed with an elegant neck and head. Josie also has an incredible, dreamy rear udder (44 rear udder height, 49 rear udder arch, 37 medial attachment, 24 teat placement for 2018 LA), pancake flat rump from thurl to thurl, pretty legs that don't turn in or out, and a super sweet easygoing personality to top it off. Her longevity is shown by her permanent score of EX90 at almost 10 years of age.
Josie's daughters are American; her sons are Grades.

2013 American Alpine
Casein: E/F

Gabby is the herd queen! She is a powerfully built doe, deep-bodied and wide with beautiful front legs that don't turn out, a stunning front end assembly that is hard to find in Alpines today, flat rump thurl to thurl, strong pretty head and lovely topline. We love her near-extreme rear udder height! She does only have half of a functioning udder due to scar tissue; despite this handicap and some struggles with subclinical mastitis, she has produced admirably on milk test.

"Pippy"
Echolight VIN Albemarle Pippin 2*M

Pedigree
Red Chamoisee
2016 American Alpine
Pippy is a funny doe with a slight mischievous streak. She was sold as a 2 year old, and we had the opportunity to get her back several years later. Since she is semi-retired at this point, we usually let her raise her own kids and she is an exceptional brood doe - always out producing herself no matter what buck she is brought to. We love her topline, rear legs, flat rump thurl to thurl, pretty neck, and her high rear udder.

Mooshie is long and wide through the barrel with clean flat bone, gorgeous rump and rear legs, and a lovely topline. Her combination of strength and dairy character paired with her fabulous body capacity, pretty head, and flash turn many heads. She is the epitome of balance and difficult to really fault. The icing on the cake - Mooshie has a stunning mammary and especially lovely teat placement! Her production has been excellent as well and she maintains body condition easy-peasy. Despite a rough freshening and mastitis at the beginning of the season, Moosh still managed to appraise EX90 as a 3 year old!
Thanks again, Meadowwild Farm!

Twinkle is one of only a few Clipper daughters - her dam was notorious for throwing bucks. We are lucky enough to have one of those pretty girls, and Twinkle is living up to her pedigree and then some. She has a lovely topline, wide square rump and correct legs, with an excellent balance of strength and dairy character. We love her teat placement, strong attachments, and buttery soft udder texture. Twinkle has all the right parts - now we are just waiting for her to gain the maturity to round it all out.

Scribble is a long, tall, strong doe with lovely feet and legs. She has a pretty mammary system, but had a singleton last year so didn't really get quite the bloom to her body and mammary that she otherwise may have. She freshened late this season with twins and really dropped that rear rib as we hoped - updated photos coming soon!

POLLED Cou Noir
2022 American Alpine
This elegant doe's pedigree is as interesting as it is sentimental to us. Kanzi has both Gabby and Josie twice each in her lineage, most recently as her granddams. She is also polled and happens to be a Cou Noir color, which you don't see commonly. Kanzi is very angular, with clean flat bone and a really pretty shoulder assembly. She freshened with a high set little mammary system that will need another freshening or two to really fill it out and drop that rear rib.

I've long admired Rose and adored the bucklings this cross produced the year prior, so when Yooper Farmhouse offered Vera to us we enthusiastically said YES! She is long and dairy, with her dam's gorgeous rump and sire's smooth shoulders. Her mammary system is well attached, with long teats. She'll need another freshening to add capacity and bring her teats in as she fills around that medial.

Spy has lovely substance, pretty legs, and width throughout. Unfortunately, she freshened about 10 days early with premature twins that didn't make it. It took a bit of elbow grease to get her to come into milk, so her capacity is expected to improve next year. A solid, promising doe that freshened with the improvements to her medial we hoped to see in her mammary!

Our Bucks
"Onyx"
Little Nix's Shiny Onyx *B
3-04 VEE 90
Pedigree
Sundgau
2018 American Alpine
Casein: E/O1
We LOVE "pretty" bucks, and this guy is no exception! Onyx is tall, wide, and strong with a handsome head and extremely correct frame. He tracks perfectly straight in front on the move. He is an easygoing, friendly guy, too! So far he seems to be throwing great toplines, correct front legs, wide rumps, dairy character and the shapely yet strong Nix heads.
Onyx's maternal granddam was a top 10 doe in 2014 and followed that year with another 5000lb lactation. His dam, Dandi, was just shy of 4000lbs for her second lactation as well!! Sadly, Dandi passed away due to kidding complications in 2018, so we are honored to have one of her last sons working in our herd. Onyx is taking very much after his dam in style, so her legacy will live on. His littermate sister freshened at just over a year old and is milking up to 15lbs per day!!! We were pleasantly surprised at Onyx's O1 carrier status for casein (the O1 gene is a seemingly uncommon, non-functioning variant and is associated with a lack of casein production).
Thanks to Little Nix's Alpines for sending us Onyx!

"Ramble"
Echolight Gabby's Ramble *B
GEV 85
Pedigree
POLLED Broken Cou Clair
2020 American Alpine
Ramble has a great front end assembly and topline, lovely head, tremendous depth and width through the chest floor, and good bone. Ramble is linebred fairly tightly on his dam Gabby, so we hope to see more of her powerful, angulated front end and superb body capacity in his get.
Ramble now lives at Yooper Farmhouse LLC, but we will use him for some breedings here and there as he remains close by!

"Shroom"
Hoanbu MRR Portobello
Pedigree
Cou Clair
2024 American Alpine
We have long admired multi-BIS winning, 2X National Premier Sire, Elite Sire, SGCH Marran Rose’s Rochester ++B…and had always wanted a son of his. Back in late February, Hoanbu posted that they had just delivered quads out of their lovely and productive girl Pasta, who had been laparoscopically AI'd to Rochester. Pasta is also a grandaughter of National CH SGCH Redwood Hills Klein Rosetta - another line we adore. Lo and behold, they had a buckling up for grabs…and for the cherry on top, he has wattles! (don’t laugh - its been a bucket list thing for almost 20 years to have wattles in the herd!)
Shroom’s maternal half sister “Pesto” was the 2024 ADGA National Jr Champion, too!

"Fabio"
YBNVS Exige Fabio
Pedigree
Chamoise
2024 Purebred French Alpine
When we saw photos of Allure, we knew we just had to have her next son! She is very similar in style to our foundation does, and this pedigree gets old fast - tying back in nicely with the same genetic roots as our foundation too. We're hoping Fabio will bring his dam's beautiful mammary system, body capacity, and overall correctness to his offspring here.

"Snooze"
Pleasant-Grove Sinful Snooze
Pedigree
Dark Chamoise
2025 Purebred French Alpine
After several years on a wait list for a buckling from Siesta, we finally got one - and he definitely appears to have been worth the wait! He is powerfully built with a lovely shoulder and brisket extension, wide rump and lots of body capacity. His mother has an absolutely stunning mammary, and FOUR lactations exceeding 4000lbs with her best being 5,290lbs in 305 days!
