Smallest Full-Size Dairy goat?

[dianneS]

What about Alpines? Are they considered big or small? I had a goat as a child, that I thought was an alpine and she was pretty small. I need to post a picture of her and see if anyone can tell me what breed she was.

dont know what you mean by full sized, but my nigerian dwarf is small, maybe 50 pounds.

I'd like to have a small dairy goat but not a mini or dwarf. Their utters are often difficult to milk because of their small size.

I have had mixed beed dairy goats that were about 100 pounds and I really like that size. But my Lamanchas and mini lamanchas are such good milkers. Quiet and professional. Supposedly there are several body types for the LM as a result of the process of developing the beed. Some are shorter and some are taller. All of mine so far have been tall and rangey like a Saanen.
