Thank you for your interest in our stock. We compete at the local and national levels with much success. Our animals are long-lived, and productive.

For over 35 years we have maintained a small herd of outstanding Alpine dairy goats in the redwoods of northern California. For over twenty-five years we have maintained a small herd of outstanding Alpine dairy goats on our ranch in the redwoods of northern California. The herd is the result of a strict culling program and is limited to eight milking does. We breed for structurally correct, smoothly blended does with capacious, exceptional mammary systems. In addition to striving for excellent individuals, we require that our animals consistently reproduce their qualities. This has resulted in highly successful doe lines that produce champion progeny for generations. Our does are known for their productivity and are in many dairies throughout the state. The herd is closed with the exception of bucks purchased or leased to breed to our does. We do not board; our animals are CAE and abscess free.

Yikes! I bet y'all thought I forgot my promise from the last post. We've been busy, but here it is! The brief history of Shining-Moon Alpines and our 2026-27 breeding list!

Sound on for the history.

We do not take $$$ deposits. You may reserve a buck though verbal or written requests (I will confirm your placement). All milkers and doe kids will be available in a click to claim sale on SC online in the late spring. We are working to get our website going again, but until then all the does have been posted here at some point. I'll highlight some of the breedings over the winter.

I find group classes really fun. Ok, not organizing all the goats, trying to find enough handlers and getting pictures (nightmare material)🤪, but I love how it shows what your breeding program is doing and where you're going.

We had TWO outstanding Dam and Daughter groups this year.

Shining-Moon Moxie and any of her THREE milking daughters are incredibly exciting. That dam line is so strong, and keeps upping the game. I love the more moderate maturation process of Moxie, only hitting her stride as a fully mature doe. Her daughters have similar futures I feel. Moxie and Shining-Moon Scandal teamed up to be first place at the CA. State Fair, and Moxie and her little clone Shining-Moon Savoir Faire (first freshener)were first place at the Sonoma County Fair (pictured).

Shining-Moon Prada Couture is a fan favorite for her extreme silhouette and impressive mammary. Her daughter Shining-Moon Trendsetter (Yearling )has impressed me after aborting 45 days early yet still reaching full function. They placed right behind Moxie's group at both fairs.

Breedings are finalized. Come back soon to view the plan for the coming year and learn a little bit about Shining-Moon history.

It's been 6 years since we attended the Sonoma County Fair and we were happy to be back! Good people, good fair, good goats.

The ever youthful, energetic, scholarly herd matriarch Micki was able to attend which was extra special for both Trinity and Grant. We both owe her so much love and gratitude for her support and profound impact on our lives.

2026 California State Fair

Mature Does

The early spring was really challenging on the farm with three costly and heart wrenching losses that left our mature string with some large holes.

So while our numbers are small, the quality shines and these girls did us so proud!
