Alpines, also known as French Alpines, hail from the Alps. They are large goats that have erect ears and come in a variety of colors and patterns. They’re friendly and hardy, and the wethers (castrated males) are a favorite for use as pack animals. Many goat milk dairies have Alpines in their milking string because they consistently produce a lot of milk and often can be milked through without rebreeding. Figure 3-1 shows an Alpine goat.
