This is Cici our baby girl! Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this girl! :love :love :love

Cici follows me everywhere and she must have her kisses and she will not leave you alone til she gets one. Curious and smart as a whip... she can go over 4 ft at a standstill... she doesn't escape or go out of fences but she will go through stalls and as you can see in the following pics she is exploring our new shelter... the shelter is not finished and boards need moved more need put up etc but she is loving the "adventure". And I thought Lamanchas were smart! :D

Standing on a 2" ledge- until the door blew shut! LOL

Watching the dogs eat their feed... and conniving!

Caught in the action she decides to play it cool... Notice the no eye contact... and pawing trying to say Hi mommy I wasn't doing anything...

@babsbag DD wants to get a buck so we can have MORE Alpines. She has fallen in love with the Alpine! Then I remind her we would then have to get 2 bucks so we could retain and have something to breed to.... it is a dangerous spiral...:D

DD #2 or DD #3? You need to learn not to get attached to the boys so you can replace them every few years. Or you find a reputable breeder and lease a buck for a few years and then buy one to keep when you don't want any more daughters. As if that would happen :)

What a hoot! I do like the looks and temperament of Alpines. If I were to go another direction with dairy goats, I think it would be to do Alpines.
