British Alpine

The British Alpine Goat was developed in Great Britian in the early 1900s. The first British Alpines arrived in Australia in 1958 and have since been upgraded using Saanen and Toggenburg does.

British Alpines are tall, rangy, and graceful. They are best suited to temperate climates and perform poorly in regions with high humidity.

The does are good milk producers, with 4% average fat yield. They also exhibit a tendency to still be good as dairy goats in the winter.

British Alpines are black with white markings. Their coat is generally short, fine, and glossy, but bucks often have longer hair.
