Geez, i wish i could find a Oberhasli for $50.00 i have priced a few Oberhasli kids and they were in the neighborhood of $100.00-$250.00 . Zeke

I have several different breeds of goats but the best ones with the best temperament would have to be my LaMancha's, They are a dairy goat breed and are heavy milkers if you choose to breed them and allow them to produce milk, they also make great moms. I also have several LaMancha wethers that are great pets and are so loving and sweet.. Do a search and you'll find a lot of information. Can't really say any concerning housing them with horses, mine aren't allowed in the horse pasture. I think I would use caution after reading what Giventake said up^ there. Sandy

Thank you all for your help. From that link above, she most closely resembles the alpine, although smaller (but I guess they can vary in size?). I suppose I won't ever know for sure, but an having an idea is nice. I will post a picture as soon as I can get a good one of her.

If you are buying kids, less than a year old, you can leave them together, I did. The buck did start being "buckish" around six months old, but the doe won't let him breed her until she is ready. I did separate them when she was about to kid, at this point I put a whether in with the boy. A whether is a boy that is castrated. This way the billy won't be lonely, and he won't be messing with the kids upsetting the momma, and the milk won't taste like billy goat. Something I learned the hard way. My neighbor leaves them together all the time but he doesn't milk his. Good luck, I have several nubians and boers. I mix breed for meat and milk production
